I believe the 'Race of a Thousand Years' was held on the eve of the new millenium... (See clip from a press release...)
"The Race of a Thousand Years will be held on the famed Adelaide street circuit, the former home of the Australian Formula One event. The six-hour sports car endurance race will end two hours prior to a spectacular New Year's celebration in the South Australian port city."
The Panoz 07 made its racing debut there but after a fraught practise and qualifying failed to finish the race...
The performance of this car was unspectacular, aside from a 3rd position in the 2001 ALMS season opener at Texas, it never really came close to winning a race. Reliability was a MAJOR issue...
Also, for those interested take a look at:
Mulsannecorner.com
It has some interesting articles on various Sportscars.
