As far as I understand, Zytek and Ginetta are now under separate ownership again- Zytek owned by Bill Gibson and Ginetta by Lawrence Tomlinson's LNT Group.

I don't know if Zytek are still offering LMP chassis- all of the cars entered for LMS this year are existing chassis AFAIK (think the 'new' Rangoni LMP1 is the ex-Barazi car) but LMP1 (3.4 V8) & LMP2 (Zytek-NISMO) engines are available

Ginetta are working on their own LMP2- they've linked up with the Ian Dawson Libra Radical project which will be running as an LNT entry in the LMS- they're apparently planning to test some stuff for their new car on the Radical and are also funding development of the IES Nissan engine that was in the car last year.

Don't know what's happened to the G50Z, but the result of the split seems to be two separate LMP & engine projects
