    Guys, here is the promised pic taken from the left arm. As you can see it is also bend. This is not because of any over stressing while racing, this is because the material is to weak and was bended over time. It is not a good pic as we where already packing the stuff to send it for...

    Pls read above what I have written about your concerns already. Awareness has been raised I guess, but the tornado is not reacting on this and explaining what they want to do to solve this. Somebody else already said, is it worth to make extra $$$ here and sell an "upgrade" ( not having...

    Cliff thx for the kind words. I agree to a certain extend if the car had seen track days and hard pushing on bad roads, I would agree, but it only has been driven on F1 circuits so far, flat smooth no bumps and no curbs ( not hunting for 1/1000 of a second) I have driven it perhaps 98% on the...
