The Brumos livery appeared on the 1973 Porsche RS Carrera that won Daytona 24 in 1973, which was a stunning debut for a car that went on to win so many races around the globe. I believe Daytona 1973 was the first use of the Brumos livery that carried on for so long.

I vote for Brumos.

So my question is this....what Classic American Porsche racing liveries would YOU all have chosen to grace the 93 and 94? For me personally, Brumos Racing's livery fully deserves an automatic reservation on one of the two cars as that is the most legendary. The second car however, is a bit trickier as there are many to chose from.......

AJ Foyt's Copenhagen
Lowenbrau Special
Penske's Sunoco 917-30
Miller High Life 962
Hawaiian Tropic 935
Apple Computer 935
#86 Havoline 962
Swap Shop 962
Valvoline 962

Any other choices?
Lowenbrau hands down for me. Was always my favorite car and have multiple pieces of lowenbrau 962 artwork in my house.

It's not American, but the Shell 962 livery was awesome. They should bust out that one next time.

The livery certainly was carried to much more fame by the Porsche 917/30.

If you have the ability to watch the replay of the Le Mans 2018 24 hour race on youtube, then pretend the pink pig Porsche is not there and does not exist. The race for 2nd in GTE was incredible the entire way. After 6 hours only 30 seconds separated the theoretical top 10. (2nd through 11th in reality). Just a fun thing I am doing while watching the reply like I said.
