an identical replacement chassis won't resolve the issue of the material choice and lack of bracing in that area. if you look at the relative 0.2% proof stress of 5251-H22 aluminium vs 6082-T6 aluminium it'll be apparent why.
having said that, in my (very) humble opinion, a change to a stronger material will not resolve the fundamental issue of a lack of bracing in that area.
daz - you're right - everything will break given enough effort - i think the question is not so much the extreme events causing damage more would everyday racing incidents cause the chassis to bend that itself would not damage a more 'conventional' moulded / braced chassis ?. not many people expect to carry a spare chassis around with them nowadays and having to check it for straightness after every race would get pretty tiresome pretty quickly.
just my 2p's worth
buy hey - everyones an expert online & after the event eh ?!
