PITTSBURGH, PA – In conjunction with the 43rd running of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, set for July 11-20, the PVGP has announced it will host the first-ever Panoz Reunion and Panoz Reunion Vintage Race to be held July 11-13, 2025 at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, PA.  Dan Panoz will serve as Grand Marshal of the 2025 PVGP Historics.  All Panoz owners and enthusiasts are encouraged to attend.

“After capturing the Manufacturers Championship, with class wins at 24 hours of LeMans and the 12 hours of Sebring, and podium finishes at Petite LeMans, Panoz has earned their place in American racing history,” said PVGP Executive Vice President Ross Miller.  The Panoz Reunion will showcase the rich history of the Panoz cars and include significant cars throughout their illustrious past.  “We are excited to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions Panoz has made to American motorsports, and to have Pittsburgh serve as host to the first-ever Panoz Reunion will be special,” continued Miller.

The Reunion will encompass all aspects of Panoz’s history, cars and drivers.  In addition to their dominance on the track, Panoz has the unique distinction of also creating the American LeMans Series, the Petite LeMans; owned and managed the iconic motorsports venues of Road Atlanta, Sebring, Mosport; and created the Panoz Racing Series and School.  These events and programs introduced many to wheel-to-wheel racing; and produced numerous high-performance specialty cars.

“We are honored to be recognized by the PVGP at one of the largest motorsport festivals in the country”, said Dan Panoz, Owner and President of Panoz Engineering.  “A Panoz Reunion with shows, racing, track laps, and dinners commemorating the cars will create a very special opportunity for our enthusiasts and owners to gather in celebration,” Panoz went on to say. In addition to a special paddock display and show, there will be an owners and enthusiasts dinner, where Panoz and VIPs will give remarks.  Special guests joining the festivities and participating in the dinner will be announced soon.

Motorsport festivities will commence July 11 – 20 this summer, with the PVGP Historics racing at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, PA July 11 – 13 and vintage race weekend and Hillclimb in Schenley Park is slated for July 19-20. Details on Panoz Reunion
