Panoz in motorsports
In 1989, Panoz funded an upstart company started by his son Dan, called Panoz Auto Development. Reportedly, the senior Panoz was skeptical at first of his son's venture, but later used his position in the business world to bring celebrity motorsport figures such as Mario Andretti on board with the goal of entering a Panoz race car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Panoz Motorsports was formed in 1997 in Braselton and entered its brand new car, the Panoz Esperante GTR-1, at Le Mans. The team was competitive, finishing ahead of all but two of the major factory teams in its class.
In 1999, Panoz founded the American Le Mans Series with the aim of bringing European-style endurance sports car racing to the Americas. |
Yep, I remember when Panoz was active.
I remember their prototypes with the two nostrils.
