Looks interesting. Wonder if they will sell it as a Cat K2 Aero.

It looks like the conversion kit has a carbon chassis but the Polish kid Mikael was asking for a alloy chassis when he tried it as he thought the carbon chassis was flexing too much for indoor carpet. I wonder if they've gone for a compromise and use the carbon chassis to help make the car work in lower grip tracks?
It will be interesting to see how this goes, shortie sounds good if you can fit the speedo on the other side of the chassis.

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...
