Elaborate, super solid wing mounts to the chassis are standard for any semi-serious race car. Embarrassing that the Cyber Evo has all that development and then skimps on something so integral.
That Lotus looks hellacious to drive. Half the turns are spent countersteering.

If the cyber evo went into a cement wall and the SSE evo went into the same wall, I guarantee one driver would be in a lot better shape than the other. The rules for cage integrity are two very different things between something like a FIA cert cage vs a Japanese Time Attack Legal cage.

So all talk of safety.. I am curious. Europe(and the U.S I would think) use FIA Regulations for safety, Australia uses CAMS. So what do the Japanese use for safety regulations... like Super GT?

That was one of my first thoughts after seeing the CT230R, the Cusco/Tomei STI and the Cyber EVO...
Would any of these cars pass our safety inspection? Our Managing Director of Competition doesn't think so. This may prevent these cars from competing in Redline Time Attack sanctioned events. We're pretty much forced by our insurance company to implement and enforce safety regs. It's in the best interest of everyone, especially the drivers.

Heh..... that's not a safety cage, that's chassis bracing! Doesn't look like there's any side impact protection at all. Can't tell what's going on at the A-pillars either, but it doesn't look very substantial to prevent a collapse in roll-over.

Japan time attack does not have rules nor safety inspection to speak of. There is no one sanctioning body. There are a few and a few events here and there on different tracks. People are just kind of tracking the records in their heads. Just like the US.
The cage tube on the HKS evo I dont know the wall thickness but the OD is very small. Smaller than anything that would pass tech in the US.
Japan doesn't have tech because there arent stupid lawsuits when people knowingly take place in dangerous sports. With that said I leave the decision about safety to car owners and drivers. They are risking far more than I am if I design it.
How much power is the SSE evo making? They've done a great job with that car.
