What should FIBA Motorsport look to release next? HAVE YOUR SAY...

[SixBolt_16G]

If using BC Racing, they will become standard soon. (hopefully) I have spoken to a BC designer and can adjust the Fronts at least to be Spherical as standard. The rears do not need to be spherical, but can be swappable

I have Fortune Auto... I admittedly know nothing about the production of spherical top hats so not sure if "universal" is actually a thing...BC Racing seems like the only producer willing to consider it for our cars.

I have Fortune Auto... I admittedly know nothing about the production of spherical top hats so not sure if "universal" is actually a thing...BC Racing seems like the only producer willing to consider it for our cars.

I chatted to them years ago and gave them details in Europe, and at the time, the US was not cooperating and Had to even ship put BC Europe products the US would not supply! but Now are a bit more on board now after some help and convo's with them.
After speaking to a designer for BC not long ago they might drop the rubber fronts altogether, and the Fronts will only be available in sphericals. Rear will still be rubber unless sphericals are opted for of course.

As for Fortune auto..... I had chats some time ago with forture CIRCA 2014/2015 ish before I personally went with custom BC's. I explained all the details and problems with a rubber upper mount on the 2G to Fortune auto to the greatest detail and reasoning, and they were not interested. They said it was not a popular application and one not worth their time investing in or pursuing! The end result was they pretty much said DO not use us but go with another brand you feel comfortable with as they cannot and would not help or adjust to suit! So from that day, Fortune Auto got less respect from me as a suspension engineer and I got many people to veer from them into BC back then! and other brands now more upto date on the design, Even now, I suggest not to use them where possible as they are apparently suspension experts (apparently) yet know nothing of the actual chassis plus rude!!
So clearly not experts in this chassis at all! While my advice vs their maybe harsh, I grew up on these chassis and what I know vs them is vastly different! Yes they sell huge amounts but do they care as a brand? maybe but to the non-sponsored people? NOPE! They care for the public eye and who they sponsor for.
