Career
Panis began his career in 2011 in the national French F4 Championship. He finished tenth. In 2012, he joined Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 Alps, but scored no points in Eurocup, and only 26 in Alps. He became a member of the Caterham Racing Academy, from Caterham F1 Team in 2013, and scored his first points in Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. In 2014, he left Caterham but won two victories: one in Eurocup and another one in Northern European Cup.
Panus joined Formula Renault 3.5 Series for 2015, with Tech 1 Racing.[2] Next year, in the series - which was renamed as Formula V8 3.5 Series - he scored two wins and finished the championship in 5th position.
In 2017, Panus decided to switch for touring cars as he started the year in WTCC with a Honda Civic TC1 car at Zengő Motorsport.[3] But after five rounds, he split with the Hungarian team [4] and went towards TCR International Series where he participated with the Boutsen Ginion Racing squad.[5] In the later championship he took one win with the Belgian team's Honda Civic TCR.
In 2019, Panus would race in World Touring Car Cup (FIA WTCR) with an Audi RS3 LMS at Comtoyou Racing.[6]
