Can't help with the driving but I'm pretty sure it's MIG welded
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

Certain it will be MIG welded.
PAUL FISHER on here has built both Indy and Indy R (IIRC) so may be well placed to comment. He also posted some YouTube links recently with excellent
footage of an Indy R racing closely and winning in one of the 750 race series - worth a watch.
...found the thread and link...

thanks for the link!
The Indy R looks spot on going round the track!
Another question then, what are the average weight for a Indy R with bike engine? Im hoping to build my indy up with it on a major diet?

Most seem to weigh in around the 450kg mark + driver weight.
For comparison, most CEC's seem to be between 550-650kg.

Hi
The above link to the race video is not for any of the 750MC race championships. They run the MK's in the BARC sports and saloons.
Cheers Matt

Hi
Only mentioned to avoid confusion of what cars are likely to be running in the 750Mc championships.
Don't want some one trying to run a TVR Ect in the RGB / Kits. 
Cheers Matt

It's not a standard type R either, it's an indy R type R or something: differences (that I know of) it's wider and suspension arms
are fully rose jointed.
