Chapman truncated
the monocoque chassis, ending it right --
behind the driver.--------------------------------------------------------------------- The engine was
mounted to the rear bulkhead and the entire--
rear suspension was mounted to the engine and transaxle.------ Other teams declared
that the car would fold in half at the first
corner.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today EVERY Formula

Cup car has a truncated monocoque chassis with its engine---- and transaxle
carrying the rear suspension.--------------------------- It is now
accepted as the "only" way to build a fast race car.-- .
