Chassis was fine, caused no problem but there is now an ali (stiffer) chassis which is why I mentioned stiffer carbon chassis. DNF's were due to ball studs popping off, CVJ's springing apart, the tiny E clips on the drive shaft and CVJ'S pins falling off, steering rack over-riding the ball races on the steering posts, plastic C clips coming off the balls that hold the whishbones, stripped spur gears, shock torsion spring popping off, bent track rods that make up top A arms and a bent front' to rear drive shaft that shorted out and fried my speedo. As I said the track was brutal and to be fair, I never acually broke anything, it was fast, consistant, easy to drive and a joy to build but IMO is was too fragile.
