The new EVO II car that the works and Jota teams are running is significantly lighter than the Creation car. The Creation car has however, apparently, fitted a lot of the mods, including aero mods that the EVO II cars have.
Creation did look at running their car as a 900KG car this year but decided to stick with the 675KG configeration.
Next year Creation, and the other Zytek teams, have a number of options. They can stick with their current spec., with all of the extra 2005 restrictions. They could run as a hybrid car, which would require the car to run at 900KG, or they could run a totally new LMP1 spec Zytek.
The fact that NASAMAX designed and built their hybrid cars in such a short space of time means teams can wait until the end of the season before commiting to any project.
