Rate the Race: Grand Prix of Baltimore 2013

[doitagain]

How do you rate the race? 10 is best, 1 is worst.

Gonna be a 6 from me. Too much crashing after the halfway point. Some good action the first half. But the end of the race bumped it back up a bit for me. Who knew that Toronto would be the clean street circuit this year. I think the problem with Baltimore is that some of the passing zones make it so tempting for the drivers that they get greedy and we get a log jam as a result.

Not an amazing race but I still enjoyed it. In all honesty a race has to really suck for it to be bad for me.

It was like a NASCAR road course race. Lots of action at the end. Was sorry that Josef wasn't able to make something happen at the end. I really liked how the post race interviews everyone was complaining about everyone else.

I wanted to give it an eight or even a nine because of the truly INTENSE finish... but the cautions made the middle of the race somewhat of a fiasco. Consequently, I gave it a seven.

I started out great, a good proper street race and then typical bumper cars.

3

Probably second best race of the year behind Indy. 10

[WillMazeo]

Giving it a 3. And only cuz of the podium, 1 point per driver there.

7. Would've been much higher had I understood how so many 'bumps' caused yellows and were given no consequences.

I don't know much about art, but I know what I like.

Entertaining as hell. Excitement, drama, insanity...a typical street race! I said it last year, ditch the stupid chicane and you have an amazing show. An 8 today.

[happyscrappy-t]

Terrible track, terrible start/ restarts, and terrible driving by way to many drivers leading to far too much caution time.

The end was pretty good for a bit, but this race lived up to my expectations of being one of the worst of the year. Considered just skipping it, and should have.

Over and out...

Absolutely horrible driving. Not worth watching. I gave it a 2.

[AGRiculture]

Gave it a 4. The last 10 laps kept it from being a total clusterflunk.

[B.]

The end was good. Too many yellows. I was also confused about rules with blocking, contact, black flags, returning cars, pit road, etc. I give it a 10, anyway, because I like the IZOD IndyCar Series.

[Joonyah]

I gave it an 8. Why? Because of sheer unpredictability.

It was a 2 for the 2 great laps of action with about 9 to go. The rest was tedious to watch. Dive BOMB!!!! Just had to throw that in since it's the new buzzword for NBCSN. Three years of that chicane being way too big a part of the weekend is enough, if it can't be significantly changed, put this one on the roster of forgotten street races. Have there ever been that many times the field was stopped in a pile of cars in a single race?
