Fucking hell, What a bunch of bitches. Like you all know how to race a car.

This guy is screaming sideways towards concrete walls and barriers at silly speeds....And your telling him his car isnt safe??? Do you think he gives a shit???

You all just stick to your Corsa's and let him build light weight racer's.


Faggots.

They worry about there lives but when you meet guys like Adam (AK) then you tend to find that he'd rather speed over safety so he doesnt needs wee boys telling him he'll die in a crash cos i dont think he gives a flying fuck tbh as he knows the consequences.

Is that your car AK?

As for crashing, there is a long wey to reach the cabin where whoever is driving it is stuck in a bucket seat and a harness. Yeah the front end may crumple but the driver will remain safe. At the end of the day, that is what matters.

its not my car, and it does concern me.

It prob is safe enough and I assume they know what they are doing (DCY), but it doesnt half look weak at the front.

The chassis rails are like swiss cheese

Is it finished like that at the front? I mean are they going to have something like a spaceframe in there?

thats it...

the main cabin floor is all tubed, and its fully caged. BUT as far as you can see its only to the susp at the front.

Martin - DCY seem a good couple of guys to me. Barries evo is amazing, and Georges car above will hopefully be too.... but I think i'd be worried about front ending that car

Doesn't look like it's just had a holesaw taken to it, I can see returned edges on the holes so that will retain some rigidity.

If he crashes it, will probably just reshell and start over.
