Yep its best to get a full cage now, as if you get good enough to be in pro-am then you wont have any problems cage wise

Better investing in a full cage and put the front half in to storage if your not a pro-am driver, or if you fit the full cage (which will stiffen your shell and make it skid better) you could always remove the door bars between events if they're a pain, its only 8 bolts after all...

Fabricage FTW yo!

Will the rear apex cage still be up to standard in amateur class though?

Sweeps - question for you: what about chrome-molibden cage? they are much stronger than steel so can they be thinner? 41x2main hoop?

Sweeps · 15-07-2008, 21:50

Sean Yes - Max no, unless the grade of metal is stated within the rules and regulations then the answer to your question is no.

There is no way of checking if the cage would be made of what a driver said, a certificate could be produced by anyone to state otherwise.

Cages must be made of the correct wall thickness as stated withing the rules.

Cheers
