Falken Tire Makes it Two Years in a Row With ALMS Wins at Baltimore Grand Prix
Team Falken once again took the American Le Mans Series GT class win on the streets of Baltimore.
Despite limited time on the track and light contact with the wall during practice, Team manager Derrick Walker was able to test Falken’s “new-generation” tires and its 2011 Baltimore tires, choosing the latter, which again proved to be appropriate for the occasion.
At the start, team driver Wolf Henzler piloted the Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR through the tight track layout and navigated through the first lap, first turn accident unscathed. Team driver Bryan Sellers drove to P1 and maintained his position to the end of the race, holding off the No. 4 Corvette and No. 01 Ferrari, which were both aggressively challenging to the end.
The season finale will take place October 17–20 at Road Atlanta. The next race is one week away for the Tequila Patron VIR 240 when the ALMS will visit Virginia International Raceway for the first time September 13–15.
