Charly Lamm-was für ein Jammer das er nicht mehr da ist. Ein richtig sympathischer Mensch. Ich hoffe es geht ihm gut da oben.

Ich war mit meinem Sohn da. Das Wetter war richtig schlecht, aber alleine die Armada von den Werken plus dem Panoz war die Reise wert . Tolles Event .

I like how that Elan/Ford 7 liter V8 just pushed pass all that exotic German machinary! Thank You Dr. Panoz!

[@andrewgillis8572]

beaten by Panoz - front engine the best in wet conditions

[@Touchmahtoaster]

its such a badass car

[@williamb4737]

If the Paooz is so "badass," how come it's hasn't seen a race in over a decade?

[@MrsMcMuffin]

William B None of these cars from 17 years ago is raced today. There is no championship with a reglement to allow these car to race. Time has changed, cars back then were manually shifted, without any electronic assistance, no one would race these today. They are way to valuable to be raced, the only occasions to see these cars driving is at events like Goodwood.

[@awsomef2004]

MrsMcMuffin they weren't manually shifted. These cars had sequential shifters as they do today.

Wait. Isn't that year 2001? E46 M3 GTR raced in 2001

[@318ci]

That's exactly why tf im here lmao

[@RACECAR]

The car you are thinking of is the V8 version that would appear in 2001. The one here is the Straight 6 version (The one that just could not keep up with the Porsche, thus justifying the existance of the V8 version).

You know!
