Auto racing Grand-Am’s Brumos Racing’s Nos 58 – 59 Porsche-Riley Daytona Prototype are on the edge of returning to the podium - if not winning outright they have been fast but not nearly reliably enough.

At VIR this past weekend the No. 58, with David Donohue at the wheel, pulled into the pits with the car "incapable of putting power to the pavement," according to frustrated co-driver Darren Law.

The 58 Brumos car's problem was gearbox related and as the team worked to repair it the No. 59 - J.C. France at the wheel - tangled on Lap-31 with Jon Fogarty and his No. 99 GAINSCO Pontiac-Riley.

Following the run-in, and as series' announcer Michael Paz noted, the No. 59 looked as though a large can-opener had been applied to the car's right-side door and pod area, leaving an ugly open scar that didn't deter Barbosa from soldiering on to a 13th-place finish - one-lap down to race-winner Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas' No. 01 TELMEX Lexus-Riley fielded by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.
Fogarty would later assign fault to someone or something else.
