No Ginettas at Le Mans this year. Has the Ginetta/Zytek Engineering partnership broken up?

Lawrencewas interviewed on radio Le Mans, apparently he entered Ginetas but the ACO did not accept the entry. Surprising considering in previous years LNT/Ginetta have had cars in LMP1 and LMP2 and LNT won the GT3 class with Panoz cars

I was chatting to someone at Stoneleigh and when I mentioned I had a Ginetta there was a sharp intake of breath and he said he worked for Zytek, and clearly Ginetta's name was mud as far as he was concerned. Don't know why they had fallen out, though.

Last time I looked they had gone into liquidation. Ginetta released a press release about it at the time.
