Rocket XR2

Let's see if this works:

blue/grey 2.0?

Upper control arm mounts appears to be about 20 lbs lighter. The XR1 versions were huge. Has everyone quit making the 5th coil mount tube movable? Used to have it so could move right/left.

I do like the new opening for the driver. The original was kinda tight and I’m not a very big guy.

im sure its quite a bit different but it does like the overall design certainly looks like the last blue front cars which won them a ton of money. Definitely diff from xr1v1

Wonder how many teams are running or getting an XR-2 besides Shepp

It's been mentioned that owners of previous versions can have their old chassis updated but not so sure they can get same result if major changes to the driver capsule? Can do suspension mounts but how do you determine exactly where they go if main structure has changed? I understand how jigs work.

I believe Matt Cosner has one.

I see Ebert has one of his 1.2s for sale. I bet he has one ready for Florence next week.

They basically took an xr1 and made the front and rear clips have less torsional stiffness with respect to the c0ckpit area. Stiff clips tied together by a flexible middle.

What would the cost of an XR2 be? Any guesses?

Exactly what I was getting at, flex or torsional stiffness being a big component in the modern DLM design.

I guess it's the easiest way to make it fast, if you can repeat the process. The cars are go karts functionally. It's totally wrong for a car with suspension.

Big go-kart is what I've said for 20 some years. I. Don't. Like. It. It's followed NASCAR.

Looks like Ebert has an XR2
