i disagree.
lotus and chapman desings have killed more F1 drivers due to mechanical failure than any other team. addinf a brace would have added 8 oz of weight in
that design, so thats why it wasnt fitted.

Just to point out the chassis in the picture isn't a Lotus chassis it is a a Spyder engineering replacement chassis for a Lotus. Also that the
Elan chassis shares its load with the boddy work --- the Elan is a monocoque design to which a chasis was added at a fairlly late stage.

The early Datsun Z-cars were very similar in design.
