Brumos Racing is back! Following an almost two-year absence from endurance racing, the iconic red and blue racing stripes will once again grace the bodywork of a Porsche 911 in competition as Patrick Dempsey and the newly formed Dempsey/Wright Motorsports will run the classic Brumos livery this season at Daytona and Sebring.
This news isn’t entirely a surprise, though, as Dempsey surrounded himself with plenty of Brumos talent last year. Brumos Porsche vice president and legendary endurance racer Hurley Haywood joined the team as a racing consultant, while former Brumos driver Andrew Davis – who was on the 2011 GT Championship team – joined Dempsey Racing as a driver in 2014.
When it comes to the 2015 livery, the Brumos-sponsored Dempsey/Wright Motorsports race car will wear the No. 58 instead of the usual Brumos Racing No. 59, and it will make its big debut this weekend at the Roar Before the Rolex 24. The car will then mark its return to racing, by competing in the Rolex 24 at Daytona this month, and this paint scheme will also be used for the 12 Hours of Sebring in late March.
Dempsey will share seat time with established racers Phillip Eng, Madison Snow and Jan Heylen. The combination of Brumos Racing, Dempsey Racing and Wright Motorsports brings together a wealth of racing knowledge, Porsche heritage and, most importantly, consistent success.
