Would it not be possible for IRL to start manufacturing their own tubs as a series?

I still can't understand why Carbon fibre laying it is so expensive!
What is the total cost of the carbon fiber and epoxy in a tub?
Total weight 50Kg?

wnut, there is a misundersting on terms: those 300 k $ are related to the chassis intended as the whole car, not the sole tub who's bound to cost much less as you correctly point out
