I worked for Schumacher for 7 years and raced their cars for ~10 years. I am purple'd out. I'm happy to see the change to stealthy black.

The ball on the chassis as a pivot is very strong.

Many cars have used this design. Awesomatix's sedan and BMI's independant pan car front suspension are two.

The cup is surrounded by carbon fiber. This area will be very difficult to break.
