Carbon fiber tub.
« on: April 15, 2023, 10:16:24 PM »
Seen this on Facebook and was wondering if you could build a racer from it?

Just thinking out loud your thoughts?

Tech inspectors what you think?

any Idea what it is or was?  If it's not a roadster of some identity then your only track is Lakester or Liner....
But what do I know...  :cheers:

Might be difficult to attach roll bar/cage. Specific hard points have to be put in the honeycomb between carbon skins.

If all else fails, it would make a great bracket racer/go-kart/downhill racer.

The last Buckeye Bullet electric car and Fabio Montani, the Italian 300 Chapter Member, used a so one for their streamliner...

both came from Indy/Cart racer

Both connect the frame to this carbon tub...so that the tub became part of frame, the rollcage came than from the frame...

for both racers are picture on the net....so, check that
