About the Porsche 917/10 Brumos Porsche #59 H. Haywood Can-Am Challenge Cup Mid-Ohio 1973 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Porsche 917/10 reproduces Hurley Haywood's Brumos Porsche #59 car from the 1973 Can-Am round at Mid-Ohio. Diecast construction gives this turbocharged racer genuine weight and opening features, and the Brumos livery connects to a driver who later won Le Mans and Daytona multiple times each.
Brumos Porsche's red-white-and-blue livery is one of the most recognizable schemes in American sports car racing, and Hurley Haywood, who would go on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Daytona 24 Hours multiple times each, drove this 917/10 during the team's Can-Am campaign in 1973.
Diecast Weight and Brumos' Red-White-and-Blue Livery
Minichamps builds this 917/10 in zinc alloy diecast, and the model carries the density expected of a car engineered around serious turbocharged power. The engine cover lifts to expose the flat-12 underneath, a mechanical detail diecast tooling handles more convincingly than a sealed resin body, and Brumos' stripe pattern and Haywood's racing number are applied with the sharp tampo printing needed to keep the scheme's bold color-blocking clean at 1:18.
Haywood's Early Steps Toward an Endurance Racing Career
Brumos Porsche, backed by a Jacksonville dealership rather than a factory budget, built a reputation for punching above its funding level in North American endurance racing, and Haywood's time there came before the string of Le Mans and Daytona victories that would define his career. Mid-Ohio's Can-Am round put the 917/10 up against Porsche's own factory-supported entries, a genuinely tough field for a dealer-backed privateer team to compete in.
Displayed beside later Brumos liveries from Haywood's Daytona and Le Mans years, this 917/10 captures an earlier stage in a career that had not yet produced its biggest results.
