Zytek have also said they are working on a hybrid with a major manufactuer, and since said they are confident their relationship with Nissan will grow.
i suppose that oreca 03 uses the same chassis of "not fully" developed oreca 02.... that in my opinion is more or less an update of the old 01. Maybe the 02 project wasn't developed enough to run in this season, so oreca produced a "cheaper" version (oreca 03) to sell the cars to other teams, focusing them self on their old 909 HDi for the races and trying their own car at le mans. I think that oreca will use the next 02 for lmp1 (with a possible 908) and a customer program of 03 for lmp2 teams.
