Reynard 02S

A new sequential gearbox built by Ricardo would integrate a paddle-shift system on the steering wheel that was designed specifically for the 02S.

When Reynard went bankrupt, International Racing Management (IRM) bought the rights to the 02S designs as well as the unfinished chassis.

RN Motorsport would eventually become part of the project, and following its debut under the Reynard guise at the 2002 Petit Le Mans, the car would be renamed a DBA4 03S (later shortened to simply DBA 03S).

Carsten Rae, co-owner of RN Motorsport, chose the DBA name in honor of the newspaper he owned, Den Blå Avis.

Following the 2003 season, the success of the lone RN Motorsport DBA4 03S had brought customers to IRM, hoping for more chassis.

Replacing the Zytek V8, Creation heavily revised the engine bay of the DBA 03S to hold a larger 5000cc Judd GV5 V10.

RN Motorsport drivers John Nielsen and Casper Elgaard managed to last six hours before cooling problems put the car out of the race.

To begin 2003, the team remained in America for the 12 Hours of Sebring, qualifying fifth overall and on the LMP675 pole, but breaking a gearbox after only 73 laps in the race.

Returning to Europe, RN Motorsport would concentrate on the FIA Sportscar Championship, where the renamed DBA4 03S would compete in the premiere SR1 class.

With John Nielsen being joined by Hayanari Shimoda and Andy Wallace, the car managed a victory at Oschersleben and second at Estoril.

Following the end of RN Motorsport, the lone DBA4 03S chassis would be purchased by Creation Autosportif as the team moved to the new Le Mans Series in 2004.

For 2006, Creation concentrated on adapting their DBA 03S to meet new regulations, causing struggle in the early LMS rounds.

For the team's second attempt at Le Mans, they would be unable to repeat their success of the previous year due to problems late in the race.

Zytek's program would be greatly expanded for 2005, as the team chose to run the entire Le Mans Series season.

This would pay off for the team as Hayanari Shimoda, Casper Elgaard, and John Nielsen would win the opening round at Spa.

The team would return at the end of the season, taking pole at Petit Le Mans before being involved on an accident on the first lap.

Sam Hignett's Team Jota came out of the collapsed FIA Sportscar Championship looking for a new chassis for use in the Le Mans Series in 2004.

Following the 2005 season, Team Jota would drop out of the Le Mans Series and sell their 04S to Creation Autosportif for conversion to a second CA06/H.

Japanese squad Hitotsuyama Racing took the opportunity to purchase the chassis for use in the newly launched Japan Le Mans Challenge.

Due to ALMS regulations which allowed older hybrid chassis to continue to compete, Intersport purchased one of the two CA06/Hs.

The newer Zytek 07S and Creation CA07 no longer share anything mechanical with Reynard chassis and are considered different designs.
