Re: Chevron B16 Kit car?

As I said before - I'm not doubting the strength and durability of the Active Power chassis. I've designed and built many steel chassis racecars over my career - but my eyes are open to other technology and designs as well. Certainly the world of high tech racing (Indy / F1) has gone in yet another direction entirely with composites - which would tend to put both the steel chassis (space frame) and monococque alloy chassis in an entirely different league.

and your empirical evidence that proves your point is where?

I am a realist and technologist - I need real facts to base my position - not supposition. I'm perfectly happy to learn from your properly presented "facts"..

Thanks!
