For
2002 Panoz introduced a subtle update to the LMP-1, the LMP-01 Evo.
With changes directed by Chris Gorne and Brian Willis (Andy Thorby having
moved on), the Evo. update was exclusively directed at top side body work
modifications aimed at improving aerodynamic efficiency. |
The
LMP-01 Evo. is typified by the more chiseled look of the front fenders
and the revised air management exiting behind the front wheels. |
For
2002, the Panoz's tail was extended to the rearward limit of the
diffuser. The wing mounting pillars were also modified by moving
them in closer to the centerline of the car. |
The
leading edge of the radiator intakes was brought forward. |
At
the 2002 Washington D.C. event, the LMP01 Evo.'s brake cooling was augmented
with additional ducts in the body. |
