Ginetta-Zytek
I figured this deserved its own thread, branched away from the Petit Le Mans thread.
Press release on EI: http://www.endurance-info.com/static...dex.txt&npds=1 The only thing I can't figure out is the actual branding. Are all new "Zyteks" going to be branded as the "Ginetta LMP" or something along those lines, or is the name of the chassis "Ginetta-Zytek"? |

So, is it just a Zytek 07S with a rebadged Zytek motor or is it powered by an Elan Power Products V8?

'Ginetta-Zytek'
What a mess. I hope Stefan will be one of the drivers. |

All the same, great to have them along. Also interesting to note that the rumour mill was slightly ass-backwards when they thought that this was going to be the ex-Arena car. Turns out the Corsa car is the ex-Arena chassis. Strange to me that they would buy an old tub... |

You've almost answered your own point cmk - if it is basically the same chassis (and it basically is) - why wouldn't Corsa buy a used one?

Zytek bought the car back from Arena and sold it on to Corsa - I'd guess it is in absolutely tip top condition

Pla perhaps, TK-S more likely (IMO). |

Another name which could be thrown into the mix is Shimoda, given his Zytek connections. |

So is just the LNT car a "Ginetta-Zytek", or is Corsa's car now a Ginetta-Zytek as well?

I think the reality is that it is a Zytek - whether they rebrand it as a Ginetta Zytek is, I suppose, up to the team - My guess is that they will - For no other reason that the chassis will have received development since its return to Zytek

T-KS has been mentioned but what about his 2007 LMS silverstone 1000Kms partner Danny Watts? Another LNT driver who is also very quick?
