Zytec Motorsport

[dandarez]

I have been waiting to see if anyone mentioned it on here. Doesn't seem to be that well-known but Zytec Motorsport (formerly Zytec Engineering) went into administration earlier this month.

looks like ginetta may start building their own engines in house..?

Ginetta Heritage appears to have gone to the wall aswell? Anyone know what the deal is?

Hope not! They have my G11 front screen. Must chase...

I spoke to Nick who seems to have taken over this week - they are still open although Spadge has left the business.

Not the only news that has gone un-noticed as Beechdean Mansell Motorsport abandoned its LMP1 project the previous day.

No Zytec = No LMP car i guess.

Given that he was trying to buy the other 50% of Zytek anyway, it might be cheaper for him to acquire the engineers and the intellectual capital he needs via the administrators, so don't rule out LMP just yet....

Yeah and rumour has it Zytec had a deal going with NISMO in the pipeline, so could work out worthwhile.

I'm very sad about this. I met him just two times but I think he is really a character. I am, and other people as well, quite worried about the future of the Ginetta Heritage forum.

I recon that Laurence will buy the assetts of Zytec!

Been in Cyprus since, only just got back, but have a couple messages on phone to follow up, so, hopefully, all is ok at the Barn, except for ol' Spadge. Wonder what happened? Whatever anybody thinks of him, he kept the 'old' side of the marque on the map.

imo Spadge=GinHeritage

no spadge-->no ginetta heritage anymore

anybody knows why he left?
