yes ok they were great driving the works zytec in 2005 but i like the mix of driving that charouzs drivers are from ... A1gp/FIA gt and f3000.its good to see pescarolo have some different compition this year as the deisel cars are in a class of there own. martin shorts rollcentre car is lookng good too

i said maybe the youngest and for me the quickest mucke has the fastest lap in a petrol lmp1. i think that all 3 drivers compliment each other true the drivers you have mentioned are quick but thats your opinion

fair does.
mucke is entertaining, a good partner for bouchut in gt. I enjoyed watching barbosa last year. personally i reckon rollcentre should have stuck with radical. |

yeh maybe but there pescarolo looks a lot better and judging by shortys reaction after le man i think he has made the right choice again rollcentre being another well put together english team just a shame creation are so unrelighable not sure there driver line up is up to it im not to keen on jcw

Yes they would probably have had 'better' results in terms of class victories by staying in P2 BUT they would probably have lost their sponsor in doing so....however they did finish 4th in LM which is better than the radical could ever manage.
Seems to me that without rollcentre running it that the various radicals have stepped backwards in performance rather than taking the next step forward!! |

JCW is a class act, look at Britcar 24h last year, and whenever he used to drive lister GTs to victory in FIA GT- even partnering Niklaus Springer. The crash at le mans was NOT his fault- straightline aqua plane. Looks like its a car problem not a driver's problem, because I'm not sure Gabbiani is a mug either.

JCW is definitely a class act. At Donington last year, he outqualified Minassian and had the better of him when they were on the track at the same time.
Le Mans was a disaster for Creation but it wasn't a reliability problem. Three shunts is a hard one to stomach. I expect the car to be fast and reliable at Nurburgring. Petrol pole is definitely a possibility (next to the Zytek) and a top four finish. |

Why is it a "bit of a joke"? The car was quick but unlucky
And as for the livery -At least you have an opinion - And that's the point. Creation is a priovateer team looking to stand out from the crowd - and they've succeeded with their livery where others simply merge into the pack. |

look i would like nothing more than creatioon to suceed in the lmes i think that as a team they are very well put together and are doing well in terms of promoting there name via selling to chassis already but its just seems that every race there are problems i went to spa last year and they did not even make it past practice its just dissapointing . they change there set up to much maybe i feel that if they just stuck with what they have and worked towards there relighablilty they can come good again . having watched the road to lemans when they followed creation in 2005 jcw seemed to wine about everything the team done to the car where minassian just got on with it and was very quick i think they need to rearrange there driver line up sorry if thats harsh but a fair opinion

I watched the Road to Le Mans as well and I think you are referring to Andy Wallace not JCW. Wallace was the one doing the complaining. The other two just got on with it. I hope things improve after their horrific LM. They do push the boundaries and it would be nice to see them succeed. One further point, a Creation car has been on pole at the 'Ring' every year for the last three years. |

Creation / KWM do seem to be able to design fast cars however IMO they seem to have trouble tracing down reliability issues.....they are not a rival to Pescarolo yet.
Have to say been very impressed with Charouz which i beleive is Jota doing all the spanner work? Possibly the best rival to Pescarolo we will see this year. Arena will show blazing pace but will it last ? |

yes jota is running the car witrh the help from some mechanics from charouz a1gp team . i think that they are the team to rival pescarolo this year to as well as rollcentre . i hope creation do progress this year it would be good for english run teams. to me it seams that lmp1 this year s anyones as far as the petrol cars go the petrol audi is out for the ring so who knows . i may have to rethink my predictions this time.

Strange that it has only ever broken with Stephan J at the wheel, im by no means blaming him, just wondering whether his on/off aggressive style of driving is something that may have been overlooked when updating the 06S. If you look at overlays against someone like Shimoda who plays with the throttle a lot instead of full in or none at all, it could help explaining it a bit.
I hope its a cracker of a race. Got to be Pug, Pug, Zytek in qualy imho.....! |

Or Pug, Pug Creation? At least P3 is uncertain..
Some of you are very quick to dismiss everything Creation has achieved over the years: basically they've done everything except win a race, which just shows how difficult it is to win. Which car was it that took the fight to the Veloqx cars in 2004? 2006 was a challenge, with the small wheels - but in 2007, here's a team that has become a constructor, produced a fast reliable car out of the box, and then had the most miserable Le Mans as all three drivers went off. It would be ironic, wouldn't it, if Creation's first win was actual the petrol class, so not really a win at all. |

It's harsh to judge Creation against major manufactuers, but Pescarolo are now showing a privateer chassis can run hard and strong for 24hrs, so excuses are running out for the rest of the field. The one aspect that stands out with Pescarolo is their preperation, right down to no compromises in the driver line-up, particularly their No.1 car. I'm unsure what Creation want to achieve this year, they have a new engine etc. next year, so is it worthwile to develop the current car? Last edited by JAG; 27 Jun 2007 at 00:49. |

I think the Coupe may be dead in the short term - it will be eligible for too short a period to justify the cost......probably they will start development of a coupe for 2009-10 onwards though.
