I wonder how long it takes before Porsche starts racing a entire CF tubbed 911.
Could be interesting..

I assume the CUP platform will be hard to tub in CF for the sake of the cost factor to privateers and the repairability issue of casual track "offs" ?

One challenge will be developing manufacturing processes that could cost effectively scale up carbon fiber tub manufacture to 911 volumes versus Murci levels.

If surmountable, should present a new paradigm in weight control...
