	Don Panoz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Panoz left Mylan in 1969 when the company refused to develop the patch, and subsequently moved the family to Ireland where he formed Élan Corporation.
		Don and Nancy Panoz founded Château Élan Winery and Resort in Braselton, Georgia, in 1992.
		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, if could you talk about the concept of the Grand Prix Americas bringing world-class road racing back to the streets of Miami, where it was so successful not only as Champ Cars, but sports cars as well in the 1980s and '90s.
		My responsibility to Don is make sure that his management team have all the room and space to demonstrate the quality of their product and his management team to us vice versa.

		Panoz, could you talk about the concept of the Grand Prix Americas bringing world-class road racing back to the streets of Miami, where it was so successful not only for Champ Cars, but sports cars as well in the 1980s and '90s.
		My responsibility to Don is to make sure that his management team has all the room and space to demonstrate the quality of their product and his management team to us vice versa.
		Don Panoz: Well, I think that when you put together these two shows you are covering a wide spectrum of the fans, a broader spectrum than we, ALMS cover, and I think it's probably the same for CART.

	Hi Ho Silver! Panoz to the Rescue!
		More to the point, I think that Don Panoz, Scott Atherton and Robinson are adding too much weight to the wrong end of the field, overloading the ‘tin-tops’ without addressing the dire lack of prototypes, which the fans pay good money to watch.
		In the years that followed, Don Panoz’s brave venture lost the Porsche factory team but gained the BMW and Audi prototypes, and the grids held up well until BMW withdrew, to concentrate on Formula One, and Audi put a stranglehold on the LMP900 class.
		It was nobody’s fault, least of all Don Panoz’s, but he suffered, just as the ACO suffered, just as Stephane Ratel and the FIA suffered, from the mass withdrawal of the manufacturers.

		Their enthusiasm aside, small-volume automaking such as Panoz does is considered an insane pursuit, because costs are high and chances of success are not.
		Don Panoz suggests there's still a ways to go: "It costs you a hell of a lot before you recover your investment.
		Not one for half-measures, Don started the American Le Mans race series so he could race against major high-performance brands using cars with the Panoz name, though nothing like the cars his son was building for street use.

		Panoz developed the aluminum frame of the Roadster in conjunction with Alumax Inc. (now a part of Alcoa).

		“Don Panoz has provided a vision and direction for sports car racing that has produced a level of interest in the sport not seen since the 1960’s.” He also recalled talking to Dr. Panoz in depth for the first time at Texas World Speedway in 2000, where the Corvette team got its first victory.

		With Don Panoz being honored for his work in creating the American LeMans Series, it was fitting a 4.5 Liter Bentley that competed on that track in 1929 should find its way there.
