BICESTER, England, September 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Wirth Research is delighted to announce Honda Performance Development's (HPD) victory in the 2013 American Le Mans Series, with Muscle Milk Pickett Racing claiming both the LMP1 drivers' and team championships on the streets of Baltimore in their HPD ARX-03c Honda.

Muscle Milk's latest achievement continues a commanding 2013 US season for the HPD ARX-series sports cars. ALMS series records the sixth consecutive win for Muscle Milk Pickett Racing and Honda in 2013. HPD's prototypes are also leading the LMP2 category with Level 5 Motorsports, finishing first in class and third overall in their HPD ARX-03b Honda. This is their sixth ALMS series class win in 2013. HPD also swept all manufacturer, engine, team and driver awards in the 2012 ALMS LMP1 and LMP2 categories.

Other HPD ARX-series cars were less fortunate.  After qualifying on pole in LMP2, Scott Tucker's Level 5 Motorsports car was struck from behind, spun round and then hit by several GT machines. In addition, Ed Brown, Extreme Speed Motorsports, damaged his car in another multi-car incident forcing pit side repairs.

Commenting on the results of the ALMS Grand Prix of Baltimore, Nick Wirth, President of Wirth Research said, "These are impressive victories but the season is not over yet and we are still hungry for more wins! HPD's next goal is the manufacturer's title at the Circuit of the Americas later this month. We are right behind them, supporting their aim - with our companies' combined capabilities - HPD's championship-winning engine development technology combined with the strength and efficiency of Wirth Research's world-class CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) based digital aerodynamic and chassis development processes.

Congratulations to team patron Greg Pickett, drivers Klaus Graf, Lucas Luhr and all the Muscle Milk Pickett Racing team!"
