Is it, though? PTG has traditionally been a team that supports a factory-backed project, so they probably don't (and shouldn't, if you will) have the resources to internally fund a program. That was the case with BMW, certainly (was it the case with the Probe GTP too?) so if they were expecting a level of factory support from Panoz it is clearly not arriving.
Was the Maxwell Paper Products branding associated with Ross Smith? Despite the name of the lead driver in that car, I didn't think Scotty brought sponsorship with him, so maybe that second car was funded by Smith and, let's face it, he drove like a bit of a hack.

Not sure that sounds so great... Can it be converted in spec easily on a shared race weekend? I remember Bob using a second chassis the first year I saw him at Mosport because of an accident with his main car. I guess that was just a lease, not a 2nd chassis, or has since been sold?
