It just seems like turning it around would bring some benefits. The sprocket would be much closer to the axis of rotation of the trailing links, the exhaust would be much easier to route, and the...

Wow, 2 seasons is a long time. Unfortunately, the FV cars just don't speak to me on any level, especially that front suspension.
Thanks for the responses. I'm having a hard time committing to buying a car mostly due to the tire cost. Considering that I can get about a dozen track days + 10k miles of street driving on one set...
I am in New Mexico. There is a local club where I can run with 2-3 other open-wheel cars, but so far as I know, there are no F5/6 cars in the state. The closest place where F5 runs regularly is in...
