The new series is the outgrowth of the former Panoz Racing School Series and Women's Global GT Series, which have been consolidated into the new series. It contains two distinct series, each with separate schedules and formats. The Panoz GT Series will be five races, and the Panoz GT Pro Series will be three races.
The series includes two classes of race cars. The GT class cars are "spec" cars that are fielded by the Panoz Motor Sports Group. All are equally-prepared Panoz Esperantes. There is also a GTS class, in which entries will be privately-fielded. The GTS cars are built by Panoz Auto Development.
The GTS and GT cars race together in the Panoz Racing Series events, but are scored separately.
There will be GT Pro, GT Series and Overall champions for both the GTS and GT classes. Drivers who compete in all eight races will have an advantage in the overall championship battles in that their lowest finish will be dropped in the point standings.
