Zytek question
What is the difference between a Zytek and a Ginetta Zytek.
In LMP2 GAC runs a Zytek 07S-Zytek, and Quifel ASM runs the Ginetta-Zytek 09s-Zytek. Both of the cars look the same to me. Last year at Petit, Corsa ran the Zytek 07s-Zytek, while LNT ran the Ginetta-Zytek 07S Zytek. They all seem to use tek Zytek engine and have the 2007 or 2009 version of the Zytek chassis. |

The name of the company changed so it depends on when the cars were made.

Was also something on my mind but never got around to asking.
But Zytek and Ginetta had separate engines until this change? I mean, when there was no Ginetta Zytek cars, the Zytek engined Prototypes, had nothing to do with Ginetta? Zytek has been around a while. Didn't they also supply an engine for a Formula 1 team? |

The new Ginetta branding of the Ginetta-Zytek LMP car is symbolic of the recent announcement that Bill Gibson (Zytek founder) and Lawrence Tomlinson (Ginetta’s Chairman) now have an equal controlling interest in Zytek Engineering. “Several new and exciting projects have been kick started by the new relationship” said Tomlinson. “Both companies will complement and strengthen their presence in International Motorsport with Ginetta benefiting from the high-end technology filtering down into its road and race cars. “Zytek Engineering is one of Britain’s best kept secrets with a hugely talented staff vastly experienced in varied automotive technologies. We believe this partnership will assist Zytek Engineering in becoming a much more visible force, demonstrating its abilities across a broader automotive range” Tomlinson continued. “The end result of the new on-track race team and development programme between Ginetta and Zytek Engineering will assist road car innovation and manufacture”. |

So the fact that the Ginetta Zytek's always seem faster is because they are newer.
I wish Strakka would come to Petit this year. I think that car has the most potential of all the petrol's on the tight twity tracks. |
