Creation Autosportif

Creation Autosportif, Ltd. is a sports car racing team based in Oxford, England. It was founded in 2003 by Ian Bickerton and Mike Jankowski and has raced in the FIA GT Championship, FFSA GT Championship, American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Endurance Series, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their cars are known for their blue and yellow paint schemes.

Creation Autosportif gets its name from the Pillars of Creation, a formation in the Eagle Nebula. Company founder Mike Jankowski, as an astronomy fan and not wanting to create a team name composed of an acronym, selected the name Creation and based the team's logo around the idea of pillars emanating from a central star.

In 2003, Creation Autosportif purchased a Lister Storm from the Lister factory for use in the FIA GT Championship, with backing from Stuff magazine as a major sponsor. By the seventh round at Anderstorp, the team purchased a second Storm for use in the championship. The team took their best result at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, with a second-place finish behind a JMB Racing Ferrari. Scoring points in all but one round, Creation was able to take fourth place in the teams championship.

Creation continued in FIA GT in 2004, but decided to switch back to a one car team. They achieved a best finish of fourth at Hockenheimring before the team dropped out of FIA GT after the round at Imola, due to various problems with their Lister Storms.

Creation instead chose to concentrate on their new endeavour, a Le Mans prototype the team had purchased from RN Motorsport known as a DBA 03S, which was in fact a modified Reynard 02S. The team would use their 03S in the newly founded Le Mans Endurance Series, managing to take two third-place finishes in the four race season, earning them fourth place in the teams championship. The team also flew to the United States to participate in the final two rounds of the American Le Mans Series season, including the Petit Le Mans. Unfortunately the car failed to finish either time, but was notable for claiming pole position at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca ahead of the dominant Audi R8s.
