Together with Hurley Haywood, he took multiple wins in the Daytona 24h, Sebring 12h and IMSA Championship. Sady he also suffered a nervous system disorder and took his own life in 1980.

1973 Can-Am Watkins Glen, Porsche 911 Carrera RSR ‘longtail’. Development of the Porsche Carrera RSR went rapidly in 1973.

1975 Daytona 24h, Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0. Brumos Racing took the first victory in a big race for the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR back in 1973. Two years later the same team, now with a 3.0 liter version, won the Daytona 24 hours race again. Competition has changed in these two years, the number of Porsche RSR’s that compete is enourmous and BMW joined with the CSL’s that were very succesful in Europe. The Brumos Porsche didn’t have an easy race as can be concluded by the state is was in when it crossed the finish line. It was a tough race.

Many years later …
1992 Sebring 12h, Gunnar 966-Porsche. Kevin and Gunnar Jeanette built this Gunnar 966 – Porsche, the world’s first WSC Sportscar. The car was based upon the chassis of a Porsche 962 and has its engine but a flat bottom as required by WSC regulations. The car raced between 1991 and 1993 but never achieved great succes. Typical Gunnar style; the car had a different livery every race. Brumos Racing entered the car for Hurley Haywood at Sebring 1992. It retired early with electrical problems.

1993 Sebring 12h, Porsche 911 Turbo S LM-GT. The Turbo S LM-GT was based on the street turbo (type 964). It made its debut at Sebring in a special class created to make it possible to compete because it wasn’t homologated yet. Later in 1995, Porsche introduced the 911 GT2 (type 993) that profited from the development by this car. It was a full-works entry from Porsche, nice to see the Brumos livery on it.

2009 Daytona 24h, Riley Mk XI – Porsche. Daytona Prototypes exist since 2003. Great equality in chassis, restricted engines and no exotic materials are the keywords. In the beginning there was some criticism because of the strange looking cars but that has disappeared. The class offers full grids of bright coloured cars and great motorsport. The 2009 Daytona winner was this Brumos Riley with a Porsche engine.
