Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I te wa ano i te whanaketanga o te European Le Mans Series, i whakaarohia ano e Don Panoz te whakaaro mo tetahi atu raupapa. I te timatanga i huaina ko te Asian Le Mans Series, i muri mai ka mohiotia ko te Asia-Pacific Le Mans Series (APLMS). Ka rite ki te European Le Mans Series, ka kawea e tenei APLMS he raupapa karaka hākinakina e tautokohia ana e ACO ki Ahia me te Moananui a Kiwa. Ka taea te kite i tenei hei whakaoranga o te Toa Toa Toa Toa Toa Toa Toa katoa o Japan (JSPC) i mutu i te tau 1992. I tautokohia e te ACO tetahi huihuinga Hapanihi kotahi, te 1999 Le Mans Fuji 1000km i whakakotahi i nga motuka Le Mans me nga miihini JGTC mo nga urunga aunoa ki te 2000 24 haora o Le Mans
He aha? I whai ake i tenei whakaaro te American Le Mans Series me te 2000 Race of a Thousand Years i te Adelaide Street Circuit i Ahitereiria. Ko enei huihuinga e rua he tohu mo te raupapa APLMS kua whakaritea, a i te wa i hangaia ai te ELMS, i kii a Don Panoz i tana hiahia ki te whakahaere i tetahi whakataetae whakaaturanga APLMS i Sepang International Circuit i Malaysia i te mutunga o te tau 2001.
