Panoz was owned by Don Panoz, hence the name. It was just a brand name of cars made by the consolidated Elan, Van Diemen, and G-Force groups. Together they were Elan Motorsports Technologies. The whole group was sold with Road Atlanta, Sebring, the ALMS assets, the racing schools, etc to NASCAR.

Ganassi helped fund the initial Delta Wing, but that's it. He bailed when Nissan and everyone else did I believe.

it's also worth noting that don panoz is a massive shitheel and he could kindly gently caress off and die.

Ganassi wasn't joking when he was saying that Dixon's cars would have some familiar sponsors from the Target rotation. GE will be on the 9 for St Pete:

I always liked that race, I thought the Hanford races were good but Fontana '97 is one of the last 500 milers that felt like a grueling attrition-fest which was always the best part of CART 500 milers.



Fontana 2000 was kinda like that, too.


also fontana 2013 which is still one of my favorite races in any series ever

I can't wait to buy Takuma Sato's Indy Kamikaze Racing for my Panasonic FZ-10 R·E·A·L 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. I wonder if it runs on the game engine from Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed. The FMVs should be good in any case.

Panasonic was just one of the licensed manufacturers of the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, but they were also the only one that mattered so even though calling the system "Panasonic 3DO" is technically inaccurate, nobody cares. Well, it is the 3DO so nobody cares regardless, but you know what I mean.

excuse me sir but i happen to actually own a 3do and mine is the goldstar model :colbert:

I'm trying to figure out the IndyCar landscape here...

Scott Dixon is apparently boring.

Sato is the same as he was in F1.

Tony Kanaan is an rear end in a top hat (?).

Graham Rahal is an rear end in a top hat.

James Hinchcliffe seems to be more of an actor than a racing driver.

dixon is the best driver in the field but bland, sato owns, tk owns but left his brain at home tonight, graham is a baby more so than an rear end in a top hat, hinch is secretly only in indycar to play pranks on other drivers

If Dixon keeps winning at his career rate and keeps driving for 4 more years (which I think he will, hes only 36. Helio is 42), he will pass Mario for 2nd in the all time win list with 52, and he will do it with 121 fewer starts (360 vs 481). He won't catch AJ's 67 wins unless there is another split (ironically, 2 splits are what helped get AJ himself to 67 wins.)

What I'm saying is Dixon is an all timer.

if dixon had drove for penske all this time instead of ganassi he'd prolly already be at 52 wins
