I still think it would be cool to turn the engine around and use two more sprockets, but I guess that violates the "clarified" rules.

As a newcomer who aspires to build a car for fun, I can tell...

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...

Ahaaa! Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

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...

The reason I asked is that I've only been on slicks on karts, and they are no fun when they get old. If I burn through a set of tires on every HPDE weekend, then I'd probably stay home a lot!

I'm looking to get into F500/600, and I have a few questions about tires. At first, I plan to only take the car out to the track for practice, i.e. I will not enter races for a while. Thus, I need a...
