2011 Baltimore Grand Prix - Dirk Werner

A flying lap at the new Baltimore street course with Dirk Werner in the #55 BMW Motorsport M3.
Sit down, strap in and hold on!



Here's a handy track map to use for this weekend's mayhem.


Speaking of mayhem -
Even though crews spent the better part of the week welding and bolting down manhole covers all along the course; one managed to be expelled at turn 9. The extreme vacuum produced by speeding race cars is enough to lift a 50 kg piece of metal.
Go figure Driven (2001) actually had ONE element of truth....
Since even 3 minutes of this film is too much for any true race fan to stomach; go to .36 as quickly as possible.


Could you imagine an iron disc hurtling thru your windshield at racing speeds?
I diligently tried to find a pic of the wayward cover, but alas, came up empty. Bummer.
Feel free to help me out and comment with a link if you find one. Needs to be added to the hall of fame best video pile.
