interestng. the rack is on upside down - I wonder if it is like one of those trick bicycles where you turn the wheel to the left and it steers to the
right 
and the rockers/dampers - why not fit them to the lower chassis rails? keep the CoG low down?

It's probably a rear-steer rack (off a FWD or somesuch) and it needs to be upside down to work as a front steer.

Because they're a mongrel to get at for adjustment mounted down low. Plus, at the back, the engine's in the road and at the front your
feet would be 
Looks like a fun little car - interested to see the finished product.

Tut tut, Hope the rear is getting changed a bit.
Feeding a suspension load into an usupport member. naught even if it is a big tube.
Looks interesting, wonder what the body will look like?

There are gentle bends in the top tubes which have a hint of Atom to them. Wonder if it's going to be minimal body?

I saw that, but wasnt sure if it was just for extra space around the driver.
Not quite as pronounced as the atoms bananna's

that looks rather funky. i like it!
its tempting to mock the chassis up in 3d and have a go with some bodywork designs
off the top of my head, im sure i remember most trackdays not allowing single seaters.. i guess that would limit you to proper 'testing'
days... ?
