History

Historical Context

The 1998 Petit Le Mans, founded by Don Panoz at Road Atlanta, revitalized American endurance racing after the World Sportscar Championship's decline in 1992. Featuring 53 entries, Audi's 1-2-3 finish established the race as a key event, leading to the creation of the American Le Mans Series in 1999. This legacy continues to influence manufacturers like Cadillac and Porsche today.
