Didn't realise how old he was. Sad news, he built a great sportscar in his team

The thundering Panoz GT1 cars are what sparked my interest in Le Mans and sportscar racing in general, so for that I am extremely grateful.
Best wishes to DP's friends and family. |

Totally agree, he helped the revival of sportscar racing, but for me the sight and sound of those wonderful panoz cars will always bring a smile to my face and good memories of a man with vision.

"The original featured a light and strong carbon fiber monocoque composite chassis, and we can build a near-exact replica. The Panoz GTR-1 is custom built just for you. Call (678) 425-1539 for pricing inquires." https://panoz.com/sportscars/gtr-1/ or if a Panoz version of the Prowler is your style: https://panoz.com/sportscars/roadster/ Sorry though joeb, no Abruzzis seem to be on offer |
