Thanks John, Will do.

Tom, valid points. Will there be a bending moment? Yes. Is it significant? Probably not, bearing in mind the weight at the front of the car. Remembering also with the standard setup there is a bending moment too. With the lighter front the moment is probably similar.

Could a little more structure be put to the outside of the car? Yes. Would the gains offset the losses? Probably not. John has not said what the purpose of the car is, but I bet its being built to run in our New Zealand Sportsrace Car Series in the Supersports class. The number one enemy in any race car is weight. I think the compromises made are just right. I'm sure it will be a very quick, good handling car.
