I hope Steve Evans got his best hotel and his biggest check ever for hosting this production - if indeed he was on site as he should have been had CNBC wanted credibility although our own Bill Adam helps
Mosport is fantastic, I fell in love with racing at it, especially the ALMS. The new "updates" may have faded the character of it a bit, but it's still an awesome track. I can't wait to go once again next weekend, and I hope the USCR comes back well into the future.
You wrote this 4 years ago, and now I'm answering 4 years later. This race would have been after LeMans. I don't have a calendar in front of me, but they mentioned the Dodge Vipers coming over from some racing at Sarthe, at some point.
Bernard car at 41:00 leaves two black streaks down the hill left through turn 4 - then starting up backstraight, two more streaks of rubber WITH CHUNKS EJECTED and tumbling from back of Panoz - my word
It is funny how I used to avoid commercials, muting my TV, but now I listen to them for their nostalgic factor. Notice how a lot of these commercials are about financial shows. This was the time when the stock market was booming, but most of this boom was a bunch of hot air. Enron. Dynergy. Sunbeam. All these companies claiming they're making all this money, when really they were just cooking books, playing with peoples' money. But the common person who wanted to get into business didn't know this at the time. He / she was watching all these financial shows, hoping to figure a way to get rich. Ha.
Yes or no - the Panoz success incl in Europe is the greatest NASCAR shop achievement, ever? This Yates engine build IMO much more demanding than any domestic use- even super speedway, which for Le Mans would serve as no more than a break-in for the valve train. Who was it prepped the Ruby/Foyt gt40 MkIV?
Loved seeing the Panoz Roadsters run at Mosport. Too bad BMW used that poor excuse and withdrew. And really loved that Porsche GT1. I much prefer the changes to the infrastructure around the track after Crappy Tire pumped a bunch of money into the track. Much easier to get around the track, down to Moss Corner and way better facilities for camping including hot (well, warm) showers!
OUCH this race was just a 16 hour drive from here - a better field of race cars, with finer engine notes, never came closer to me lest it was Can Am at St Jovite when I was like, 13 - and I did not attend this race
Just imagine if BMW had entered though. The race without BMW was exciting enough, just with Riley versus Panoz. I think it would have been a mess with BMW thrown into the mix, you know?
It's considered a front engine because the engine is in front of the driver but since the engine it also behind the front axle that makes it technically a front-mid engine
Thanks a lot i've never seen the complete1999 season looks cool!
Steve Evans was right. They do look like front engined dragsters. But my god were they quick.
Thanks guys for another excellent race!
It's amazing the transformation Mosport Park has gone through since this first ALMS race up there.
My first ever race! Thanks for posting this!
What an awesome track!
yup our man is in the pits and at work 33:20 - a legend in race broadcasting, & maybe in the most types of racing
cool to see the track 14 years ago. It looks so much different now with the new tower. concrete on the outsides of turn 2, and 9 now as well.

That Rafanelli Riley and Scott is just a monster.
Thanks once again!

I get why they did those updates. I think the character is still there, just with modern touches and safety standards.
oh wow, was this race before lemans? or after? man i didnt know they raced in mosport in 99, speechless. thanks a million!

is anybody hearing this - this is insane - ear-splitting, shattering - sweet as can be

Cool to see all those Porsche 993's. That engine bay looks so roomy and old fashioned!
Edit: And omg those old commercials! Those are hilarious.

A shame the Ferrari factory didn't evolve those awesome 333 sps...

Where is the 2 BMW V12 LMR?
BMW didn't think the track was safe enough.

Nice work on the reupload with 60fps, but why the video quality so bad in the late 2000s? Thanks again for the great memories.
You are joking, right?
Panoz is a center-engine, rear-control car, surely - to call it front engine is misleading
It's considered a front engine because the engine is in front of the driver but since the engine it also behind the front axle that makes it technically a front-mid engine
But...Canada isn't America..
Blame North America
Wow how boring was that womens panoz race..
