Re: Porsche GT1 monocoque

Yes richie you are just about right standard 'ish' front end.the first gt1 was built this way porsche did things the porsche way. as you probably know it was built at a time of rule changes to get the drivers feet behind the front axle. the gt1 mk11 had a carbon monocoque. porsche had a very short time to design and build the first cars before the next season, in effect they took the rear end of last years car and the front off the road car and joined them together with the steel centre section.
Yes you can build a road car like that just as porsche did for homolagation, the road cars just sat a bit higher
