"DRIVEN TO SUCCEED"
Chances are Don Panoz has indirectly touched your
life and you do not even know it!
Hear how this amazing entrepreneur who has successfully straddled so many
industries is changing the world of Motor sports.
Don Panoz started his career as an U.S. serviceman making $175 per month �
today; he has assets of more than 400 million.
Panoz's career has spanned several decades, crossed oceans and seen him rise to
the top of several industries including pharmaceuticals, wineries, world-class
resorts, golf courses and now motor sports.
As founder of Mylan Laboratories and Elan Corporation PLC, he has been involved
with several technological breakthroughs in the pharmaceuticals industry such as
gelatin capsules and over 25 worldwide patents...most notably transdermal
technology that led to the nicotine patch.
Not content to rest on his laurels, Panoz sought other business opportunities in
North America and Europe in the resort and leisure and wine industries.
In 1997 he discovered a new passion...racing! That was the year in which he
formed the Panoz Motor Sports team to build a new heritage in auto racing. Not
surprisingly, in 5 short years he has established himself as one of the most
influential leaders in the world of motor sports.
Dr. Panoz is the owner of the Trans-Am Series, North America's oldest annual
road racing championship, which will visit two Canadian venues, Mosport Park and
the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres, during its 12-race 2002 season. He is also the
founder of the American Le Mans Series, which has established itself as a
flourishing championship in the tradition of one of the world's most famous
motor sports events, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In his address to the Empire Club, Dr. Panoz will discuss his motivation in
joining the motor sports industry after finding great success in completely
unrelated fields. He will also share his vision for the future of the fastest
growing sport in North America. For Dr. Panoz, the ambition and drive to succeed
in motor sports is a perfect analogy for success in the world of business.
