Both true. Specs and construction techniques in the rule book are understood to be minimum acceptable. Fabing a frame structure in the floor, and building the cage on that rather than the thin sheet metal, will greatly add to the strength of the car. Safer, more consistent and responsive to chassis tuning.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
