commented Doc B Racing team owner and lead driver Thomas Bork. The outstanding support we have
received from Steve Sanders, Manager of Mazdaspeed Motorsports, and Tod Kaneko, Manager of

series. Now Mazdaspeed is bringing their magic to a line of factory-tuned vehicles, the first being the
Mazdaspeed Protégé. It features a turbocharged 2.0 L DOHC 16 valve 4 cylinder engine.

development will be done in-house. The team made major investments in 2003 to prepare for the
upcoming year's challenges, including chassis and engine development facilities as well as upgrading
their pit stop equipment.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (December 3, 2003) -- Sports car racing veteran Darren Law will join Brumos
Racing in a Porsche Daytona Prototype for the 2004 Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series season.
The 35-year-old resident of Phoenix, Ariz., will co-drive with David Donohue in the No. 58 Red Bull
Porsche FABCAR in the 12-race series, that gets underway January 31 with the 42nd anniversary of the
Rolex 24 At Daytona.
"Brumos considers itself fortunate to obtain the services of a premium quality driver such as Darren Law,"
said Bob Snodgrass, President of Brumos Racing. "We feel Darren and David will combine to form one
of the most potent teams in the Grand American Rolex Series."
Law won the 2001 Rolex Series GT championship, driving a G&W Motorsports Porsche. He was also a
two-time championship runner-up, finishing second in SRP II in 2002 and second in GT in 2000, with

well established team with a great reputation, and I'm honored that they chose me to partner with David
for next season."
