The Atlanta Concours d’Elegance, held Oct. 8-9, was the most recent competitive classic car show to join the ranks of more than two dozen top Concours events throughout the United States. It was also the first to feature DeltaWing race cars and Panoz race and street cars.  The event included more than 170 vehicle entrants, 40 sponsors and numerous vintage car collections, as well as restoration programs. 

 According to Bill Wallet, co-founder and co-chairman Atlanta Concours d’Elegance, "For a Concours event to be nationally recognized – especially on a first-year front – support by globally renowned automotive experts, sponsors and award-winning vehicles are needed to foster the groundswell for participation and attendance."  As such, Panoz was the Premiere Sponsor for the Atlanta Concours, and pharmaceutical magnate and founder of Panoz Motor Sport Group, Don Panoz, was the event’s honoree.
