You have hit the nail on the head, the 2 things that make it tough for cobras are thay are 1. Open top and 2. fiberglass.

The first meet with the car fully teched the Andra officials on site knew of the car as there was much discussion as to whether they should pass it reguardless.



Andra seam to have very tough rules when I can circuit race under cams with a long sleeve t shirt and Jeans, no roll bar. Head to a 90 degree turn at 200kms +.

That is why we also use all the gear when ever the car is on a track.
