| After the success of the 2011 event on the streets of Baltimore there was a lot of controversy whether the ALMS would return due to the even organizers failing to make the successful event profitable. After a new organizer took control, the 2012 even to firmly placed on the ALMS calendar.
By request of almost everyone, the chicane on the front straight was removed. The result was cars getting massive air time over the light rail tracks. Drivers and teams became concerned, cars started breaking, and the chicane was brought back.
For Friday's qualifying, Oliver Gavin in the #4 Corvette dominated the time sheets posting P1 at 1:29.945. Jan Magnussen came in P3 at 1:30.413.
Come race day, once again, everyone was out to dethrone Corvette Racing. BMW, possibly the only remaining team in reach of Corvette Racing, laid it all out on the table and came away with a lot of battle scars.
It all came down to the last few minutes once again and Corvette Racing finished P2 and P6. GT cars 1st through 6th finished only 3 seconds apart, proving once again that the ALMS GT class is the best in the world.
Next up, Virginia International Raceway.
