The new Panoz will be unveiled to the public at this year's San Jose GP in July. If the merger announcement happens in May as anticipated, there will be a rush by teams to get their orders in early with Panoz. The sooner they get their first new chassis, the sooner they can begin to test it after the 2006 season is over.
