EP98: How the TMC Costin became the 750hp Panoz Esperante GTR-1 Q9

May 30, 2026 · 40 min · Ep 101

How did a small Co. Wexford car builder go on to be linked with one of the coolest and fastest Le Mans cars in living memory? Gather round as Cormac tells us the story of how the TMC Costin went on to become the hybrid 750hp Panoz Esperante GTR-1 Q9. It's a good 'un. 

The guys will be hosting a live recording on Thursday 4 June at 3FE Sussex Terrace, with some special guests and a unique experience that differs from the usual podcast. Tickets are available here.
