It's well-known that over $\mathbb F_q$ every smooth projective conic $C$ is isomorphic to a projective line. So the formula for the motivic zeta-function $Z_{mot}(C)$ is evident since $S^n\mathbb P^1 \simeq \mathbb P^n$.
But what can one say when the finite field in the formulation of this question is replaced by an arbitrary field? Are there any references which can help me to determine the answer?
