BMW scored its second victory of 2013 today with veteran Dirk Mueller and young star John Edwards taking a dominant victory at Lime Rock Park.

While performances from two-time ALMS champ Mueller are to be expected, Edwards performance in only his third ALMS start today was stunning.

After winning the pole yesterday, he charged into the lead off the start and handed over the BMW Z4 to his German teammate with a handy lead.

Considering Edwards role is to fill in for fellow American Joey Hand who was on DTM duty this weekend, the performance was pretty impressive.

It seems even BMW’s “bench” is incredibly strong.

“Wow. This is pretty incredible, especially like a day like today, Edwards said.

“The air conditioning doesn’t really come into effect until 5th or 6th gear and we only have that a short time on the front straight- away.

“I don’t like being out of the car at the end when we have everything to lose. Dirk did a fantastic job maintaining his gap to the Corvette and keeping out of traffic.”

So far in 2013 ALMS GT competition – both BMWs and both Corvette’s have won races.

Edwards teammate and GT championship leader Dirk Mueller paid tribute to friend and Aston Martin driver Allan Simonsen who died in a crash at the Le Mans 24 Hour recently.
