You might not believe this, but I was down in Brazelton, Atlanta attending the Beetle Cup press launch just casually having breakfest when who should appear but Mr. Don Panoz in his black 2000 A8! Fortunately I was with a couple of people from VW Motorsports so I had a chance to meet him and ask him about his cars as well as what he was driving in today. He claims that after spending many years driving other cars in its' class (that will remain unnameless!) he drove the Audi A8 Quattro and fell in love with its' handling prowess, and the rest as they say is history.

Just thought you might like to know...

who is Don Panoz?

Stu B

He invented the transdermal patch (used in nicotine patches, sea-sickness patches etc.), owns the American Le Mans Series and Panoz Cars and Road America amongst other racing properties. If sports car racing in the US is going to be revived, he is the one who will do it. He is well on his way towards accomplishing it! Lets wish him luck!

My dealer said that Panoz's VP has got dibs on the first S8 they receive.
