Cockpit The 2007 Panoz DP01 features a seven speed sequential semi-automatic gearbox that utilizes paddle shifters mounted on the steering colunn allowing drivers to change gears without removing their hands from the steering wheel. The system also will allow for less shifting errors, meaning less wear and tear on the gearbox, thus reducing the team’s operating costs.
Tunnels Élan Motorsports Technologies and Champ Car designed the DP01 to be a more efficient race car by moving aerodynamic emphasis from the car’s front and rear wings to its undertray. Large tunnels were created that give the car a significant amount of downforce while minimizing the turbulent air behind the car.
Front Wings The front wing of the Panoz DP01 is constructed using a single flap element as the horizontal main plane. This creates a smoother transition of the air as it travels and through the other aerodynamic features of the car.
