Brickyard Grand Prix 2012 – Report and Photos

The Brickyard Grand Prix GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series race was held Friday, July 27, 2012 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The ninth event in the 13-race series was a true workout for the 34 cars running on the 2.5-mile, 13-turn course. One hour into the three-hour race, the last in a line of storms passed through the area and delivered a deluge that severely hindered visibility for the drivers.With the Brickyard Grand Prix being the first sports car race at IMS in quite some time, the race started on a green track that only became more slippery with the rain and the ensuing weather-related drama included numerous close calls and spin outs as the driver’s attempted to keep their cars in the race. Of the 11 DP and 23 GT cars entered, only 27 endured to take the checkered flag.
