It's a car which is definitely best for circuits with long straights, like Le Mans & Spa. It would definitely have a bigger challenge making a good lap time on a street circuit with lots of low and medium speed corners, but I think that's just Panoz running from a challenge. A proper racing car needs to be competitive over a season with different types of tracks. Maybe it means they need to work on their torque vectoring concept, which could help it get around those slow corners quicker. Maybe it means they need to come up with a higher downforce variant. If they stick with under-body downforce, they could still have something a good deal more efficient than the other cars.
It's a concept that deserves further development. If it ends up being a dud, it's a dud. They should give it a chance first.
