They went for carbon as Schumacher can cut it in house, rather than outsourcing an alloy run to China. So a quicker product prototype, test and to market. Plus Schumacher will get to sell the chassis at least twice, first the carbon kit, then the alloy later on when the alloy product run lands and the "team" are running them over the carbon, and then multiple times to those unfortunate club racers who have a crash and break or bend them...
