because of the nature of the Zytek's power to weight ratio, it could still be as competitive next year with the restrictions by just getting the weight of the car down to the minimum of 720 kilos. this was stated by creation in their announcement for plans in the off-season. this means to me that we won't ever see a hybrid Zytek, but rather we will see a brand-new LMP1 evolution of the Zytek in 2006.

the interesting thing to me will be how they the turn the current 3.4L into a LMP1 engine. if you remember back, the current Zytek engine is a decreased displacement version of the 4.0L engine that was in the failed Panoz LMP07. i would think the Zytek boys would use this engine in the new LMP1, and it should be a great engine as the main problems with it in the LMP07 were caused by the front-engine design of the panoz.

what do you guys think?
