Panoz Q9 hybrid racer
Dear colleagues,
Anyone has read anything serious about the Panoz Q9 hybrid car? It debuted in 1998 or 1999. In those years I wasn't interested in motorsports. Maybe, Racecar Engineering or anyone else wrote about it? If you have a copy of such magazine, could you provide a scan from it? |

I have just read a book called Flat Out, Flat Broke: Formula 1 the Hard Way! - which was written by Perry Mccarthy.
I think he made reference to this car as he drove it! It is only a small reference and if I remember correctly, the weight of it killed any competitive edge. I'd recommend the book. I've read a few similar ones and this one is very amusing! |

Well, you know, I'm not an F1 fan at all...
So it's highly unlikely i'll by anything dedicated primarily to F1. Is it possible to scan or photo that small reference for me? |

"Well, you know, I'm not an F1 fan at all...

Perry ended up being the original "Stig" on Top Gear, and must be one of the most entertaining personalities in the industry. Last edited by rcr286; 27 Jan 2006 at 23:34. Reason: added quote |
