Looks a little like the Zytek with its very low profile.
Will it be a Silverstone, with the Judd engine? |

Looks like a very tidy car, lets hope it goes as well as it looks.

I think Zytek would be insulted to hear that!!! It looks nothin like the Zytek really.
God its such a shame that the works Zytek wont be at Le Mans, i wonder about the rumours of Mid Ohio though....Wouldnt it be great if Zytek managed to win Mid Ohio along with Spa, they really would then be on the top of the pile for this years sportscars! Who do you guys think will win Monza......................... Surely a close one between Zytek, Pesca and Jota? |

Monza means straight line speed. I'd not count out Dome or Courage either.

Or Oreca, the Audi will be underestimated at the others peril.

I know it is about straight line speed, but the breaking points for the various chicanes mean that the lighter Zyteks will have the upper hand there.
Also reports suggest that the Jota Zytek has been down at Paul Ricard with some mods to aero etc and they managed to get 311kph down the straight!!!! The C60Hs got 314kph but remember they are sooo much slower through the corners as highlighted at Paul Ricard a few weeks ago in teh last sector. Audi shouldnt be a factor, especially if Gounon is driving!!! :0 Should be Zyteks race - i hope so anyway. |

So who are you going to support once the 04S stops racing at the end of this year?
Its a great car but the Hybrids will get quicker and quicker. I could even see an LMP2 matching the Zytek on pace in the coming races. |

He's hoping that Zytek will build a prototype to the new rules that looks exactly like the 04S.
The Promec is certainly a very smart looking car. Although the intake on that car looks more like the intakes that the turbo cars use. I assume that is a recent pic? Didn't Tim say this car was destined for a Judd? One more question, is that a 900kg car or a 675kg car? Don't know much about it... Last edited by jhansen; 26 Apr 2005 at 16:06. |

Are you taking the p*ss. You really think that an LMP2 will match the Zytek for pace before the end of teh year. The Zytek is the fastest LMP1 on the track. When an LMP2 overtakes the slowest LMP1 then i might start even considering what you have said. In answer to your question i will support the new regulation Zytek (non hybrid) that is reported to be in the pipeline atm. |

Infact, no, i will support the car that Shimoda is in. He is one hell of a sportcar driver and he is the reason that i have become interested in this and so my support lies with him.

The 675kg cars eventually caught up to the pace of the 900kg cars, so it is no stretch to think that the P2 cars will have the same potential. The new Lola P2 car is already proving that to be true.
As for the Zytek 04S being the fastest, I don't think that is entirely true. The hybrids and new regulation cars will be setting the bar now. And we have not seen the new full blown factory cars yet. |

Full blown factory entries?
Seriously, that Lola will never catch the big P1 boys, it was over 5 seconds a lap slower at Spa, no developement and testing will make up 5 seconds. Looks like the new Audi R11 will be racing next year (R9 and R10 were failed test cars). Lets hope Zytek can join the party with perhaps a Zytek 05S GTP/LMP1.......................... |

I have just picked some news up from Tom Chilton (Arena Honda BTCC driver), he is going to test the Zytek at Magny Cours next week and may drive it in the LMES later in the year.

Spa is unique due to its size. Five seconds a lap there is much less at other tracks.
Intersport was within 2 seconds of pole at Sebring and 1.5 seconds off pole at Road Atlanta with their new Lola. But I suppose your next response would be that the ALMS cars are slower. I don't understand why you ignore the fact that the 675kg cars eventually caught the 900kg cars in terms of pace. Especially when considering that the Zytek was built to conform to the 675kg rules. |

At Road Atlanta Jon Field was only 1.4 seconds off pole, and that's against a 675 actually running at 675 weight, and with '03 restrictors! Now, you're not going to tell me that James Weaver, JJ Lehto, etc are much slower than Jon, are you? |

The new Lola apparently produces more downforce than the 'MG' Lola LMP675kg car, and currently has around 100BHP more. We saw at Sebring just how close the new Lola got to the Dyson cars. The question is will any team aim for overall wins/podiums with an LMP2. It seems Porsche believe they have a decent chance. Last edited by JAG; 27 Apr 2005 at 22:53. |
