Different chassis's with different flex characteristics will be left for the aftermarket companies to deal with........

Regarding BRSracings statement about the B5M being under development for as long as the B5, the interview makes it sound as though the separate B5m platform came along a lot later.

I also feel that from the interview and the fact that they dont enough cars/parts to run at the Reedy Race that the posted dates on AMAIN for late Feb for b5 and march for b5m are probably pretty close
They said they started off with a dual purpose car in mind but switched to two different cars. I would say that means the mid was in the plans at the onset however they realized two cars was better than one. Either way point being both platforms have had extensive r and d was my point.

Ok your right, you caught me.

I am no pro but I plan to give both RM and MM a try. I think the focus of the factory teams seems to be leaning more and more towards MM. It will be interesting to see if MM stays around as the go to chassis.
As did you, I'm not sure how you did it so far from AE's backyard, but you guys clearly have more info than I do!

While watching the racing going on at the Reedy Race and seeing the two Ryan's leading the event with the C4.1's it's almost worth it to wonder why we need the B5M
