generation of the successful SB401 platform and have

made the SB401-R faster, quieter and easier to

maintain and tune.

A number of key components have been totally redesigned

to produce a better handling and more forgiving car to

drive. The main focus has been on the all new narrow

2mm 7075-T6 chassis and plastic side-pods, which utilizes

a carbon fibre re-enforced spine to control torsional and

longitudinal flex. The additional flex has proved to

increase grip, and make the car feel more balanced and

easier to drive leading to faster, more consistent laps.
