Re: new build a Porsche LMP

I am curious about those front uprights - it looks like there is a big spacer under the lower ball joint interface. Would that not cause a considerable bending moment under lateral load?

Second question regards the chassis - it seems like you could put a little more structure to the outside of the car? That would serve to offer more side impact protection (unless the body is designed for that) while also helping to stiffen the car in torsion and side bending. It looks stiff as a brick in beaming.
