SC will run a transaxle and the in car fuel cell. I do hear that some drivers and teams are not happy about having the fuel cell inside the car with the driver. I wonder why??? The photo posted here yesterday of the ST doesn't really show the chassis very well, so it makes you think it's a very simple design which it is not!
What's an HSS bumper iron?

Anyone moaning about fuel cell placement in a SC is obviously full of it, or has not seen it in place. Take a look at those pics again. It's not inside with the driver. It's enclosed in a steel casing.


Looks like the rear bulkhead extends out to enclose it.
