It is my pleasure to announce that this year’s chassis design has been completed and construction has commenced. We are very grateful for the continued support of both Duright Engineering and Midtherm Laser who have laser cut the chassis tubes and assembly jig respectively. The tubes arrived on Tuesday with a view to begin assembly next week.

The design was completed just before Christmas and is an evolution of previous years’ boasting a more compact design and a lower centre of gravity.

We will keep you updated on further progress and hopefully have pictures of a fully assembled chassis very soon!

In the meantime here are some pictures of the finished design and the early stages of construction.
