I take it you missed the bit where the original LMP1 Roadster won quite a few ALMS rounds.

Yes thats right but engineering and technology changes and what was once a competitive way of doing things isnt necessarily still the same now. As Duke Toaster said, the last Panoz LMP wasnt really that competitive, sure it wasnt slow but it didnt win any races. Unless Panoz has changed its thinking of designing front engined cars it is hard to imagine that they will get better results next time around.
That said I hope I am proved wrong, I was a fan of the Panoz it was a very distinctive car.
