Simon Pagenaud wins the 2013 Grand Prix of Baltimore
By Don Markus, The Baltimore Sun
8:42 p.m. EDT, September 1, 2013

As the debris cleared and Simon Pagenaud surveyed both the wreckage and the drivers still in contention in Sunday’s IZOD IndyCar Series race at the Grand Prix of Baltimore, a simple thought came to the 29-year-old Frenchman.

“I knew I was on fresher tires than the guys around me, I knew I had a faster car, but we needed to get going,” Pagenaud said.

Terrific pictures! My tablet only took a bit more than normal to load. I’m happy that Baltimore had the opportunity to highlight some of the treasures charm city has to offer. I will be in person next year! Job well done. Congratulations Baltimore, for a great event, and on the success the race has become.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Your horrible darkroom interface only loads the first two pictures. Change the format. I have the latest version of Firefox and it should be supported. This is why you are going out of business. BTW, Grand Prix is a turd.
