It was announced yesterday that the inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix will be held during Labor Day weekend 2011, September 2-4 as well as improvements to the circuit layout to allow for more fan attractions.


Authorities believe that having the Grand Prix on Labor Day weekend will make things easier for fans to make travel plans to attend this 'three day festival of speed' in downtown Baltimore.

Alterations to the 12-turn street course include moving the pit lane from Russell Street on the west side of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. With the new pit lane location, the racetrack will now circle Oriole Park.

The race weekend also will include a round of the Firestone Indy Lights series.
