Have you taken inspiration from the mods to the Rook Gt2 race cars?

I actually contacted Roock today and asked them about the front suspension arrangement. They promised to get back to me.

I will most likely get the motec dash for datalogging purposes but I like the original gauges so much I want to keep them. The dash will most likely go somewhere close to the gauges.

Do you think the fuel/oil level Guage will still fit? That cross member looks super close to the hole opening.
May just be an optical illusion.

So, you still thinking you're gonna go with white? Looking awesome man... Can't wait to see this thing pounding around the Nurburgring.

So the clock has to go and the fuel/oil guage will take it's Place; like this:

And ya, it's gonna be white. I can wrap the exterior in a different colour every season if I feel like it... =)

Do you have any estimate what the weight penalty is for all of the extra bracing? I know you shaved massive amounts, but how much has she gained in the process?

No estimate...but I am aiming for a sub 1100kg (2400lbs) dry weight.

hahhah!!!

We decided to make the strut tops a little sturdier and simpler so I draw the adjustable plates in CAD and had them cut from high tensile steel. We will weld these directly on the strut tower, eliminating the need for the boltable plate:
