The DeltaWing project continues under the guidance of Don Panoz but has recently been put in doubt after the departure of major partners including Dan Gurney’s All-American Racers who built and tested the DeltaWing, Highcroft Racing who helped develop the car, Ben Bowlby who designed the car and now Michelin.

Panoz’s engineering company Elan Motorsports Technologies is developing a new engine to replace the 1.6 litre Nissan powerplant based on a Mazda four-cylinder block. Despite the use of the Mazda engine, Mazda North America has confirmed that it has no involvement in the project despite being approached a number of times by Panoz; John Doonan, head of Mazda’s U.S. racing operations stated that the timing was never right.
