The 2013 Grand Prix of Baltimore took place on September 1st in the Streets of Baltimore in Baltimore , Maryland , United States and was the 16th race of the 2013 IndyCar Series .

Reports

background

After the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma , Hélio Castroneves led the drivers' standings with 39 points on Scott Dixon and 62 points on Ryan Hunter-Reay .

At the Grand Prix of Baltimore 2013, the drivers were allowed a total of 150 seconds to use the push-to-pass button. The overtaking aid could be activated ten times during the race.

Before the Grand Prix of Baltimore, there were two changes to the regulations. After Dixon collided with a Penske crew member in Sonoma , regulation 7.9.17 was added to the rules, so that a team can be punished if a crew member, through negligence or intentionally, provokes an incident with another driver. In addition, the individual boxes were marked more clearly. However, drivers were still allowed to cut these lines when entering and exiting the pits. In the event of possible incidents, however, they should help to make penalties more understandable. In addition, rule 7.2.5.2 has been made more precise. From this race on, drivers showing a blue flag only have one lap to be lapped by a driver.

There were four changes in the starting field. Oriol Servià returned to Panther Racing after a race break and took over the car from Ryan Briscoe . It was Panther Racing's last driver change this season as Servià had been signed for the last four races. Briscoe was still active in Baltimore that weekend and took part in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) race. He left with his partner Scott Tucker . At Dale Coyne Racing , James Davison was replaced by Stefan Wilson as scheduled after two races . Wilson made his debut in the IndyCar Series and drove his first race in 2013. Together with his brother and teammate Justin Wilson , he formed the first pair of brothers in IndyCar history to start in a racing team. Luca Filippi returned to Bryan Herta Autosport after JR Hildebrand drove the car in the previous race. Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing reduced the team back to the usual one-vehicle team with Josef Newgarden . Lucas Luhr was no longer used in the IndyCar Series in Baltimore. Instead he started the ALMS race and won it together with Klaus Graf .

With Will Power and Hunter-Reay (once each), all former winners competed in this Grand Prix.

Tony Kanaan started at the Grand Prix of Baltimore for the 212th time in a row in an IndyCar race and became the only record holder in this statistic ahead of his teammate Jimmy Vasser .

Shortly after the race it was announced that the Grand Prix of Baltimore would not take place for the next two years. The reason for this is the collision of dates on the Sunday before Labor Day , which is the classic date for the Baltimore race. In 2014 there will be a college football game in the stadium not far from the ninth corner, and in 2015 there will be a fair in the city. Possible dates for the IndyCar Series in June or August are ruled out, as the baseball stadium of the Baltimore Orioles is used by the baseball club during these months. The entrance area of Oriole Park at Camden Yards acts as the pit building for the IndyCar race.

training

Both in training and in the race, Scott Dixon (picture) clashed with Will Power

In the first training session, Power was the fastest ahead of EJ Viso and Servià. Training was interrupted three times after an incident on the fifth corner. Sébastien Bourdais and Stefan Wilson went off the track without striking. The third interruption was caused by debris. Dario Franchitti only drove five laps due to a defective electronic sensor and came in 22nd. In the second practice session, Tristan Vautier took the lead in front of Graham Rahal and Josef Newgarden . Vautier was 1.4 seconds faster than Power in the first workout. Power drove into the tire wall shortly before the end of the ninth corner and damaged the front of the vehicle. There were also several minor incidents. Stefan Wilson was more than four seconds behind the leader in the first two practice sessions and was last.

In the third practice session, Simon Pagenaud set the fastest time and replaced his team-mate Vautier at the front. Dixon was second ahead of Power. Castroneves started red flags after coming to a stop off the track. In the early stages, there was an incident between Dixon and Power that caused an interruption. In the twelfth turn, the two drivers touched after a misunderstanding. While Dixon tried to distance himself, Power, who was directly behind him, ran up on him and turned him. Dixon touched the wall, damaged his front wing and stopped, Power drove on. After a repair stop at the pits, Dixon also resumed training. Both KV Racing Technology drivers were involved in incidents at the same time. Kanaan missed the braking point in the fourth corner and drove straight ahead, while Simona de Silvestro drove into the tire wall in the eighth corner. De Silvestro's accident triggered the third and final interruption. Several drivers took off while driving through the last chicane after driving too far over the curbs. James Hinchcliffe and Marco Andretti suffered minor damage on landing because they got too close to the wall. The first 17 drivers were within a second. Stefan Wilson stayed in last place, but reduced his gap to just under three seconds.

Qualifying

The first part of the time training was held in two groups. The six fastest drivers in each group came into the second segment. The remaining starting positions were determined from the result of the first qualifying segment, with the drivers in the first group being assigned the odd positions from 13 and the drivers in the second group the even positions from 14. In the first group, Dixon drove the fastest lap, in the second group Pagenaud was the fastest driver. In the first group, Bourdais drove into the tire wall at the chicane on the start-finish straight at the beginning of practice and triggered an interruption. As a result, the two fastest laps were canceled. Viso also later drove into this pile of tires.

In the second segment of the qualification, the six fastest drivers qualified for the final section. Power achieved the fastest lap time. Alongside him, Newgarden, Vautier, Pagenaud, Wilson and Dixon made it into the third part of qualifying, the so-called Firestone Fast Six . Shortly before the end of this section, there was a collision in the eighth corner between Vautier and Rahal, who were both in the top six at the time. Initially, Rahal drove into the tire wall and there were only local yellow flags. After Vautier drove into the rear of Rahal's vehicle, the training was stopped. As the race management blamed Rahal for the interruption, his two fastest laps were canceled, so that he fell out of the top 6 and Dixon moved up.

Dixon ended up setting the fastest time, taking pole position from Power and Pagenaud.

Franchitti and James Jakes were subsequently moved ten positions back as they used a sixth engine. The IndyCar regulations only allow five engines for the entire season.

Vautier was after the race due to reckless, negligent and / or aggressive or excessively unsportsmanlike conduct in the collision with Rahal by a fine of 10,000 US dollars occupied and also drives up to the end of the season on probation.

Final training

Bourdais was the fastest in the final training. Power and Newgarden followed in second and third place.

run

Dixon kept the lead over Power at the start, but was already overtaken by him in the third corner. Power's team-mate Castroneves damaged his front wing when attacking Newgarden in this corner and pitted for a repair stop. While Power led the race in the early stages, Takuma Satō , Jakes and Filippi split up early with technical problems.

On the 13th lap, Ed Carpenter triggered the first yellow phase with a slip in the fifth corner. While the leading group fell by the wayside, several drivers from the rear pitted. At the restart, Dixon lost second position to Pagenaud, Newgarden dropped from fourth to seventh after hitting the wall. Shortly after the restart, Franchitti gave up with braking problems.

On the 25th lap, the first pit stop phase began for the drivers who had not yet pitted. Power stayed out the longest and handed over to Bourdais in the lead after the 31st lap. He led in front of Vautier, Sebastian Saavedra , Castroneves, Andretti and Viso. The six drivers were in the pits in the first caution period. Power ran over a compressed air smart in his pit during his pit stop and came back on the track in seventh place directly in front of Dixon.

Power and Dixon made up a few positions over the next few laps. Bourdais pitted on lap 40, giving Vautier the lead. It was Vautier's first IndyCar leadership lap. Bourdais had built so much of a lead that he came back on track ahead of Power and Dixon. Shortly afterwards, Stefan Wilson slipped in the seventh corner and triggered the second caution phase of the race. Vautier, Castroneves and Saavedra pitted and Bourdais took over the lead of the race again. Castroneves hit Doug Snyder, a member of his pit crew, on his stop and was given a drive-through penalty. Snyder was unharmed. During the yellow phase, Hunter-Reay was eliminated with a gearbox damage.

At the restart, Bourdais was in front of Power, Dixon, Saavedra and Rahal. While Bourdais kept the lead, Rahal turned Dixon on the first corner. The route was blocked and Castroneves, Newgarden and Hinchcliffe stopped. Rahal was later given a drive-through penalty for causing this collision. At the restart that followed, Bourdais was ahead of Rahal, Power, Servià and Dixon. Rahal took the lead from Bourdais driving on the outside lane before the first corner. Behind it there was a collision between Power and Dixon. Power wanted to pass Bourdais on the inside lane and missed Dixon behind him. Dixon, whose car had been pushed into the wall, remained damaged on the start-finish straight, Power drove into the pits and, after a repair stop, resumed the race a few laps behind. Power said after the race that the collision was due to a mistake on his part.

At the next restart, Rahal kept the lead. He touched Bourdais lightly. This contact had no consequences. However, Bourdais was immediately turned over by Servià. Servià was caught by Viso and drove into the tire wall. This blocked the route and Vautier, Saavedra, Charlie Kimball and de Silvestro stopped.

At the restart, Andretti took the lead in front of Kanaan, Pagenaud, Justin Wilson and Bourdais. Two laps after the restart, a mass accident in the third corner triggered the sixth and final caution phase. Bourdais shot Justin Wilson. Servià, Rahal, Carpenter and Hinchcliffe were also involved in the incident.

Andretti kept the lead at the restart. After Bourdais had passed Kanaan two laps later into third position, Pagenaud took the lead from Andretti with an overtaking maneuver on the start-finish straight. Bourdais also passed Andretti on this maneuver. Andretti lost even more positions in the next few laps. Bourdais tried to pass Pagenaud in the eighth corner on the outside lane. The maneuver didn't work and Bourdais lost two positions, but soon made up one. Newgarden was now in second place.

In the penultimate lap, Kanaan was eliminated after contact with the wall.

Pagenaud finally achieved his second win of the season ahead of Newgarden, who stood on the podium for the first time. Bourdais was third ahead of Justin Wilson and de Silvestro, who turned 25 that day. The top 10 completed Kimball, Hinchcliffe, Saavedra, Castroneves and Andretti. The first 10 drivers were on the lead lap. With eighth place, Saavedra achieved his best IndyCar placement to date.

In the overall standings, Castroneves, who was the only driver to have completed every lap of the season, increased his lead over Dixon. Pagenaud improved to third place. Hunter-Reay dropped to fifth place behind his teammate Andretti.

After the race, Dixon expressed his displeasure with decisions made by the race management. He criticized the fact that Servià, who is said to have overtaken him under yellow flags, had not received a penalty for this offense and was also angry at the race management, who had refused to bring his vehicle back to the pits after his accident. Dixon said after the race that IndyCar race director Beaux Barfield behaved like an idiot and demanded that he be fired. Dixon was subsequently fined $ 30,000 for his statements and was also placed on probation until the end of the year.
