Zytek 07S News and Speculation

Well Waddle has decided to try and take a shot at predicting what the future Zytek 07S will look like. Unlike the Radical SR9, the future of the Zytek 07S looks really good. In Waddle's opinion the Zytek is probably the second best of the LMP2 cars, even better than the Acura ARX-01a. The 07S is also raced in LMP1 by Arena International Motorsport, but they haven't had much success there in LMP1. For next year in LMP1 it looks like Arena International Motorsport will continue on by themselves with the Zytek in LMP1. Although Waddle still thinks that they will be racing, he doesn't think that they will do a complete schedule, with maybe doing two or so rounds. Fortunately for Zytek things look a lot different in LMP2 with the 07S. Just the other day Barazi Epsilon announced their intentions to run a two car team with the Zytek in LMP2. They are a good team and having two cars should really help Zytek, though Waddle has learned that they probably won't be the only team with Zyteks in LMP2. Waddle is fairly sure that Team LNT will have one if not two cars for LMP2. Waddle has also learned that with the way that the Zytek has performed in recent races they have a lot of interest in the 07S. They are already at work on building a new one, if not more than that. So we will probably see at least one if not two more than those that Waddle has already listed. That brings the total up to 1 possible in LMP1 and probably 4 if not 5 or 6 in LMP2. Unfortunately for those of us on the American side of the pond it doesn't look like any of these cars will be here for the regular season. So Waddle is looking forward to having several Zyteks on the track next year in the LMS and maybe some here for Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca.
