No offence AERO but I have to admit This one look it the one to have.
Every thing looks like it's been engineered 3 times over.
No cheap compromise.

With all this Great Cars commin' out , I'm having a hard time decidin' witch one to go for.

Hats off to Serpent and their RD team for this. really looks like a threat.

No like I said its an alloy chassis with alloy side parts.. If this one is hand machined and formed because the production one isn't ready or that the plastics are spray painted black because they are some protoypes then you get the idea.
The final car will look like this.

you could always have the anodic coating removed and all the parts re-anodised Bathy....

Perhaps a liberal coating of KY underneath it? that's the shame about such a lovely looking chassis, its gonna get abused. Oh well

And if you can't get good feeling from the normal chassis condom, maybe go for ribbed

those cells look mighty close together
i presume there is a tray or something that will restrict forward movement of the rear set of cells in an impact or heavy landing???

nice looking car though

Wow, that looks very impressive!

Looks like the EP market is really heating up. I can't wait to see what this season brings in terms of results.

Too bad there isn't a worlds this year. Should mean a diverse Euros and Nationals series.

I personaly can't wait.
