i can see where your coming from on the circuit aspect. But both are different disciplines and surfaces are totally different as we all know.
This might sound a bit pie in the sky (everyones entitled to an opinion) but remember the
lower the weight in your car the better. I know there is a contradiction there with my fuel tank inside and up from the original height(50kg when full) but there has to be a certain amount of compromise when building into a manufacturer road designed vehicle.
As I said earlier the guys at VWM produce good designs and strong cars. I am trying to follow their principles to make a decent competitive, reliable and most importantly a safe car.
The standard rear axle shown in the previous pics shows the effect rallying has on the rear beam. The competitor was lucky to finish the event. His handling must have been all over the place after the damage occured.
Oh yeah and I posted some pics for you on your motosport thread. Enjoy
