I dont quite understand all the vitriol surrounding this thing - I was a little disappointed when it was announced, simply because it isnt as interesting as what I was expecting for the 56th entry, but why all the hate? It really seems to have hit a button somewhere.
As for Panoz funding this thing, and the idea that we're getting this rather than a well funded ALMS - my understanding was that he was more of a consultant, and wasn't pouring any of his own money into this. It wouldnt make much sense to be funding this at the expense of the ALMS.
The biggest piece of news in all of this, and probably the biggest disappointment, surely has to be the fact that Highcroft are involved - meaning we wont see them with a proper program for next year at least. This hasnt really been discussed a whole lot.
