Partnering with JAA will allow entrants to experience the performance of Porsche's newest vehicles on a runway of Jacksonville International Airport.
The adventure will begin Friday morning, May 21, 2021, at the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport for check-in, coffee and donuts and a brief driver's meeting. Everyone will then jump in their personal vehicles to travel throughout Florida's scenic First Coast with three exciting stops along the tour route.

The Brumos Collection
The Brumos Collection is the official home of Jacksonville, Florida-based Brumos Racing and an assemblage of some of the finest automobiles and artifacts in the world. Among the cars in the collection you will see the 917/10 driven by Peter Gregg to a 9th place finish in the 1972 Can-Am Championship, followed by Hurley Haywood’s 3rd place finish in the 1973 Can-Am Series season. The Brumos Porsche 917-10 was the first race car to wear the iconic white, red and blue livery emblazoned with the iconic Brumos “sweeps.”
