Jota’s first Le Mans car to return to competition
The Zytek 04S LMP1, fielded by a British squad at Le Mans in 2005 and boasting a successful record that includes 10 LMP2 class podiums, has been acquired by historic racing enthusiast Jamie Constable. Constable plans to compete in the Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends series and will debut the car this weekend in the Masters Endurance Legends event at Paul Ricard. The Zytek, sourced from the USA by Xavier Micheron of Ascott Collection, has been meticulously restored to its 2005-spec by Aaron Scott’s Scott Sport organization. The car, now equipped with a new 3.4-liter Zytek V8 engine, has undergone shakedown testing at Silverstone in preparation for its return to racing at Ricard. Constable, who was recommended the Zytek by Warren Hughes, expresses excitement about the car’s performance and aims to participate in the Le Mans Classic next year alongside his other racing ventures.
