BRASELTON, GA (February 11, 2005) -- In championship sports, the rule is to stay with a winning combination. That’s exactly what the Panoz Racing School and Panoz Racing Series have achieved by signing last year’s sponsor roster for the 2005 season.
According to Vice President of Sales Christopher Sperry, the entire 2004 sponsor team returns for this year’s action: Pirelli tires, Performance Friction brakes, Arai helmets, BBS wheels, Bosch electrical components, Brembo high performance brake calipers, Cintas uniforms, H&R springs, Flowmaster, performance exhaust systems, K&N filters, Mechanix Wear, Pace American trailers, Sparco safety equipment and Tremec performance transmissions.
Sperry also said that in their honor the Panoz Racing Series again will present The Panoz Racing Series Sponsor’s Trophy at the season’s end.
This continuing annual award, given for the first time at the close of the 2004 season, is presented to the driver who does the most to promote the sport and sportsmanship of racing. Drivers from both the Panoz GT and GT Pro Racing Series are considered. The winner of “The Panoz Racing Series Sponsors’ Trophy” is announced following the last race during Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in the Fall.
The first-ever winner announced last December was Randy Wars of Mexico City. Trophy title sponsor was Pirelli.
Said Sperry “These sponsors are an important part of the Panoz Racing experience. Without sponsors like ours, racing would not be the world’s foremost spectator sport. The time, money and products they invest keeps the sport vital. Our idea behind the trophy is to single out one racer who best embodies the spirit of sportsmanship and whose actions promote the best values of our form of competition. We see this award as acknowledging a different form of champion,” he concluded.
Throughout the year, sponsors are displayed prominently on school and racing series cars, on the nationwide transporters, drivers’ suits, the Panoz web sites (with hot links to sponsor sites for more information), in each classroom and on all related literature.
