Chelspeed Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Last weeks autosport had an article about next years championship and amongst all the normal PR blurb there was a very small bit about mods to the cars. They mentioned modified de dion rear suspension, new front uprights and hubs and I think new bilstein dampers. Anyone know any more? I guess the front hubs refer to the cracking on the aluminium hubs found a couple fo years ago, since then the racers have been using cast iron hubs which must be seriously heavy, presumably they've got some stronger ally hubs now. Particularly interested in the rear suspension, could just be a small tweak of the pick up points of course but would like to know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelspeed Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 Oh, is that all. Doesn't sound like a very significant change, heavier too probably, plus I use the upper damper mount so I couldn't use it anyway. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Faulds Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Part of the front upgrade is a new, stronger stub-axle since they were prone to breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
