The Zonda is being developed and manufactured at the Pagani factory in Modena, Italy by Carsport Modena. Carsport Modena is the new company formed by Toine Hezemans, Tom Weickardt, and Paul Kumpen, which has exclusive rights for the Pagani Zonda race car.
Team Owner Tom Weickardt, of American Viperacing, LLC., has moved the race team to his new facility in Glendale, Wisconsin, and changed the team name to Carsport America. Tom states: "The name change reflects the team acquisition of the Zonda and my involvement with Carsport Modena in the production of the Zonda race car. We are really excited about the Zonda, feel it will be a great addition to the series, and create a great deal of fan excitement. We expect to have initial development issues to over come, but we are confident the Zonda will be very competitive in the GTS class this year."
