Monocoque Makes Round 1


Three Monocoque chassis cars competed in Round one here at D-Drive Sports. The lower deck is complete,but the upper half of the chassis is still going through changes. You will see in these pictures that some of these chassis have been trimmed to fit different bodies. All of these cars are being used as test mules with a number of different bodies to find a the best design for the upper portion to allow a huge selection of bodies.
You will also notice that the batteries have been held in in different ways to the drivers liking.


I would like to say that the Monocoque swept the Super A main but they did not. There were no problems with the chassis but the drivers that are testing/abusing the chassis are not A main drivers,but they were faster than the previous lap times prior to using the Monocoque.
Here you can see the different cuts on the cockpit for different bodies.
