2004 Porsche Brumos Daytona Prototype news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Many professional drivers have written that the Carrera GT is the most perfect blend of road & track car ever built. It blistered Porsche's best lap at the Nubergring, shaving 15 seconds from the record. (Carrera GT, 2004 Walther Rohrl 7:28)
Brumos has an incredible racing history that spans four decades. From the days of Brumos founder, Hubert Brundage, through Brumos' current Vice President Hurley Haywood's incredible stretch of 10 major endurance victories, including 5 times winning the Daytona 24 Hours, 3 times at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 2 times winning the 12 Hours of Sebring.
It was Brundage's friend and customer, Peter Gregg, a former Naval officer, who purchased Brumos is August, 1965 after Brundage's death and launched the dealership and himself on a course that would take both to the top of international sports car racing. The awesome white Brumos Porsches bearing the now world-famous red-over-blue stripes won six IMSA GT Championships and three Trans-Am titles in just ten years.
The reputation of the dealership grew right along wîth the racing team. It's been Gregg's unblinking dedication to perfection and performance to provide the very best – the best product, the best service and the best people he could find.
Peter Gregg died in 1980, but the traditions he established and the legend he created endured. Brumos Motorsports success continued wîth a class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and a record fifth win at the 24 Hours of Daytona.
A new ownership group headed by 27-year Brumos veteran Bob Snodgrass acquired Brumos in 1990 and focused the dealership's mission on its competition heritage. 'Porsche racing is the foundation of our sales, service, and parts marketing concepts,' according to Snodgrass. In 1991, Brumos entered a two-car Porsche team in the newly created IMSA SuperCar series, winning three straight manufacturer's championships for Porsche wîth a pair of traditional white, red, and blue 911 Turbos. Brumos Vice President and international champion, Hurley Haywood, led the Brumos Racing championship team and has played a significant part of the IMSA series campaigning factory Porsche GT2 race cars wîth a great deal of success.
'Our history, tradition and heritage wîth Porsche are truly ingrained in everything we do. As such, we believe our corporate slogan to be true and accurate.' 'Brumos Porsche,' says Snodgrass, is 'America's PorscheSource - Brumos Racing
