Welded space frame with removal front and rear subframes. Ease of modifications, replacement and repairs, added advantage of being more cost effective. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The composites make it lighter... I think that's kinda the point of a featherweight... But I like the idea of a space frame too! The BAC MONO has one so it cant weigh too much!

NO CHASSISSSSS AT ALLLLLL.
Cant be that important
You really are smart! *sarcasm intensifies*
Well u wanted a lightweight no!?
Spaceframe seems like the more robust design for the challenges associated with prolonged track use.
By the way, what's the difference between a carbon fiber tub and a monocoque? I thought they were interchangeable terms.

Read moreYeah. What said is correct. A monocoque is what most cars use, a tub is what you see in the picture.

Yep!
An integral FIA sanctioned safety cage should be standard equipment if a welded space frame chassis is employed.
Welded space frame I reckon (I’m not a big fan of composites)

🤣🤣 I understand composites are better but for some reason I just don’t like them
Has to be space frame. Oh wait. Yep my car is built on one. Hehehe
