Creation/Zytek Question

[WMUCarGuy]

I've been putting together chassis registries for many of the past few year's LMP and GT cars, and I was working on Creation and Zytek tonite, and there is something that doesn't seem to make much sense. According to the several sources I've been using to put these lists together (and they very well may be wrong), there is both a Creation and a Zytek that ran the same races that are built using the exact same chassis..., which well, would be impossible...

But according to what I've found, Reynard/Zytek chassis 04S-02 was used to create both the Zytek 06S-04 which was run in the LMS, ALMS, and at Le Mans by Zytek Engineering in 2006. The same chassis (04S-02) was apparently one of the cars converted into Creation CA06/H-002.

Obviously the same chassis could not have been used to create both cars, so which one is correct?

I've been using a combination of World Sports Racing Prototypes and Racing Sports Cars - RSC Photo Archive to find this info.

The Zytek 06S campaigned in the LMS 06 and ALMS 06 by Zytek Motorsports (Jota) used chassis 04 (full name 06S-04). This was a new tub built in 2006. However, as it was a hybrid the tub, it was very similar to the tubs used for the Reynard 02S / Zytek 04S.. Chassis 06S-04 was not raced in 2007.

The chassis 04S-02 was built in 2004 and campaigned by Team Jota in the first two years of the Le Mans Endurance Series. Jota sold the car in 2006 to Creation, they converted it into hybrid spec and the chassis was renamed into CA06H-002. In 2007 Creation sold the car to Intersport.

Ok, that's what I thought. I'll send the webmaster of the incorrect site a message letting him know as well.

I wonder what happened to that chassis. It seems to be the only one not still in competition (not including the recently retired Intersport car)
