Why I Had to Make My Own Chassis

It frustrated me.

At the ETS, I was stuck between two extremes:

Carbon was too soft.

2.0mm Aluminium was too stiff.

Neither felt right through the corner. Neither helped when the tires needed to come in. Both compromised how I wanted to drive.

And with how temperature-sensitive today’s tires are, that matters more than ever.

I didn’t want more flex.

I didn’t want less flex.

I wanted the right kind of flex — where the car builds load through the corner instead of dumping it all at once. Where the chassis helps you stay in the window — not fall out of it.

That’s why I built the CFG 1.5mm 7075 aluminium and 1.2mm spring steel chassis.

They don’t just increase grip — they help the car stay alive:

• Tires warm up faster.

• Mid-corner grip stays stable and predictable.

• The chassis loads naturally and releases progressively.

They’re more forgiving.

They’re easier to drive on the limit.

They let you push harder — and still come out clean.

Because at this level, you don’t need extremes.

You need something that works.

So I made it myself.
