Hello, new to locost, so excuse any questions that have been asked before. Is this Donkervoort car the same dimensions as a standard locost? Looking at building a locost to race (yes have raced and done some building of cars before) I want to do a locost in this style, as in having a roof. I am 6ft so do you with more knowledge with these cars think that i will fit? will a full cage fit etc. I think i will need to scale up a standard locost chassie, but thought id check with the experts. thanx Rescued attachment donkervoortj25_01.jpg

6 foot you'll fit fine in a standard Locost.

Plenty of way bigger drivers have them.

I made mine bigger and from about halfway through the build onwards I've regretted the larger chassis for having to carry the extra weight!!!

Just re-read your first post. I don't think the Donkeyfart is based on a Locost! They've been around a long time. The chassis is their own (very nice) design with an IRS rear end.

HTH,
James

that looks a real pain to get into and out of, imagine trying to get out if youve had a crash.
