My bad, I did indeed meen April - they are there now.

Shimoda and Johansson, now that is a VERY fast combo. I should think qualifying at least will be electric.

On the Arena front. They ran the Zytek in 2005 - the year that brought poles nearly everywhere and wins at Spa, Nurburgring and Leguna; they know what they are doing.

Any info on Zytek's pace at Paul Ricard?

No, but here's the first picture of the car. A nice white/blue combo

that paintscheme looks incredibly similar to the dyson lola B06/10 from sebring 2006, not a bad scheme but i was hoping for a black car with silver/white lines on it like the highcroft acura/honda ARX, oh well it will still be my favorite car but i was hoping they could go for a paintscheme rather like the team transporter.

that black, red and white combo would look great on the zytek 07S, still looks cracking but not as good as the epsilon car, just to wind up a certain someone

the green and silver audi sport UK car was run in 2003, not in 2002 as far as i know and can remember.

therefore my original statement was infact right a few posts back as well, except for 2004 when im not sure who ran the zytek motorsport operation.

2003 was the Biela/fuel crisis year alright .

The Zytek 07S looks a lot better than that hangin powder blue of Barazi , in my opinion !!!

Is that a new colored windscreen visor on the DBR9 ?

i remember the DVD review of LM2003, pierre kaffer was almost in tears when the car retired because franky missed the pits, and then again who could blame pierre because that must of been absolutely gutting to say the least.

and badger that hangin powder blue zytek even with orange stripes now you still dont like i gather

A little news update. 1st day of testing plagued by a fuel cell leak....fixed by the end of the day hence not much running. More running yesterday, mostly shakedown stuff, some slight issues with rear end stuff . Test continues today.

Any comments on speed relative to the Pug?

I love 04s · 28 Apr 2007, 17:35 (Ref:1902299)

Not enough laps turned yesterday or the day before to give any kind of speed indication yet. I should think today will give clue or two.....will update if I hear anything else.

chocmonster7 · 28 Apr 2007, 20:49 (Ref:1902374)

Thanks for the updates, much appreciated!

The Badger · 30 Apr 2007, 08:49 (Ref:1903207)

Any more pics of the Zytek ?

I love 04s · 30 Apr 2007, 10:55 (Ref:1903281)

Ive got a couple of the car in the workshop but im not sure whether I can post them. I will enquire and report back.....

knighty · 30 Apr 2007, 12:20 (Ref:1903347)

I Love 04s........now if I was a betting man I'd say you either work for Mike Earles crew at Arena, or you work for Zytek.........common - spill the beans.........your posts always have a heavy bias towards this car

........do you work on the marketing side by any chance?

I love 04s · 30 Apr 2007, 12:32 (Ref:1903356)

hahaha, sadly not Mr. Knighty. I have no involvement whatsoever with Zytek or Arena. Think outside the box.

The Badger · 30 Apr 2007, 12:45 (Ref:1903371)

Your a tyre-tech then ?

knighty · 30 Apr 2007, 13:17 (Ref:1903398)

yeah - tyre tecchie sounds one possibility.......possibly work for Judd, but I doubt it as Zytek obviously use their own engine which I'm a real fan of .......NOT!........or heres a good guess - perhaps you work for the gearbox supplier, god knows who that is, either Ricardo, X-trac or Hewland?........your possibly an ex-Reynard tecchie, either a designer, modeller, or an aero man?.......or do you work for Pi doing data stuff?.......am I remotley warm?

...............but I know a man who did/does???

I love 04s · 30 Apr 2007, 13:26 (Ref:1903410)

Canam.......pleasant surprise. Knighty, you truly are as cold as ice. Off the topic - what are Creation up to at the moment, they seem to have gone pretty quiet re. their new car???

knighty · 30 Apr 2007, 15:27 (Ref:1903491)

last I heard about creations new car was that its being built in the old RTN facility in Norfolk, and it was being crash tested.......does anyone know if it failed or passed crash test?.......it must be a serious effort as they have sold their current cars to the US!

I give up on your identity - but your linked to Zytek/Arena in some way or another!

jhansen · 30 Apr 2007, 15:31 (Ref:1903493)

It's easy, I love 04s is an alias for Hyanari Shimoda. Either that, or he's Shimoda's manager.

A more simple/realistic thought, ex Reynard employee?
