Creation Autosportif, the only team to have seriously challenged the all conquering Audi R8s in this year’s Le Mans Endurance Series, has clinched the driving services of the super-quick Anglo-French duo of Jamie Campbell-Walter and Nicolas Minassian for 2005. Creation will be campaigning its DBA4 –03S Zytek in the Le Mans Endurance Series and a further, yet to be confirmed, programme of international races.

Work on the Bi-turbo, Porsche 962 engine from the Cougar C26S has been progressing over the last two weeks. After a few teething issues rigging the engine on the dyno the team were able to successfully run the engine and test the new loom and the later spec Bosch electronics. The next stage is to get the Turbo's serviced and treat the motor to a new set of injectors.

We'll bring you an update on this project along with pictures of the engine on the dyno soon. In the Meantime you can find out about Creation's other Secret Porsche Project by clicking on the logo.
 

With the 2004 racing season over the Creation Team are busying themselves prepping and rebuilding the cars ready for next year.

The DBA has still yet to return from its little outing across the pond so the team are concentrating their efforts on the Cougar C26S and the Ligier JS3. We'll be publishing some dedicated pages to these two incredibly fast machines from the past soon but for now we present a exclusive article detailing the work the team are conduction over the winter months on these two old birds.

Automated spamming systems have recently infiltrated our forum so we have been forced to update the forum control software.

Existing members should not see any differences, but new members will be required to confirm a graphically displayed code whilst filling out the registration form,  this should hopefully stop those pesky spamming systems from interrupting our Motor MoJo.
 

As a parting shot to this years racing, we've received this photo which we're posting. Those who were there know what its all about, for those who don't, there's always the forum.

You've watched Creation and their Blue & Yellow sharks battle with the best the FIA-GT series has had to offer over the last two years but all good things must come to an end.

(20:40 PM) Good news, the problems we had with the Creation Forum earlier today have been fixed.

Luckily the four SQL tables that were corrupted were non critical so it was a case of dropping those tables and then rebuilding the structures in to the database. It appears that this solution has worked, and all the existing messages are intact, if anyone still has problems please let us know via email.
 

In only their second ever American Le Mans Series race, the Creation Autosportif team entered their name into the Series’ record books today when they convincingly claimed pole position from the ALMS P1 Champions, Audi.

Hot news for all you Creation Blue Shark  fans out there. In anticipation of the imminent release of Simbin's amazingly realistic GT simulator for the PC, the development team have released a new demo of the game.

Ok so its still at Spa, but this time you get to drive the Blue Shark rather than the works Lister. You can also compete in a full race weekend and that means you can race against the AI in the game.  As this demo is limited to just the Creation Lister and the Morgan NGT car, you have the option to race against  an entire grid of Blue Sharks all driven by BVR clones !!! .. Now how much fun is that ?

The game will unquestionably set a new bench mark in computer based driving simulation. As stated elsewhere on this site the car physics are the best out there and the attention to detail is quite breathtaking even down to Bobby Verdon Roe's crash helmet colours and the Creation 'Buck Rogers' race suit. Its a big download but worth it if you cant wait until the game is released later in the year.  Get yourself to the GTR web site for the download and more info.
 

The visit by the Creation Autosportif team to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca this week is a very special one in the eyes of the team’s co-founder, Mike Jankowski, as it marks a homecoming for the Californian entrepreneur.

Raised in San Diego, Jankowski acknowledges that it is a dream come true to bring his team to his home state and he is confident that the “Blue Rocket”, the DBA-Zytek prototype, will be perfectly suited to the challenges of the 2.238 mile track and is a potential race winner ... read more here
