TMR in conjunction with Rai Curry from FABRaiCATIONS and in consultation with CAMS, have developed a new concept in roll cage design that offers increased safety for the vehicle occupants, engineering benefits with improvements to the vehicles centre of gravity, weight distribution and chassis rigidity.  In designing this new concept cage the first priority was the driver and co driver protection particularly in the side door and B Pillar areas. The cage which is made from various wall thickness’ of Chrome Moly aircraft specification tubing has a multiple of side intrusion bars that give increased strength if the car was to be involved in a side impact accident.

The design incorporates a pyramid style node at the centre of the B Pillar which is the widest point of the roll cage. In addition a secondary bar has been added to the roof directly above the driver & co-driver head, again to add further protection for the occupants in a side impact or rollover collision. The main hoop has been moved to the rear of the car by some 150mm allowing the co-driver to be positioned lower and further to the rear of the car which aids lowering the centre of gravity and improves chassis weight distribution.  The structure is connected to the chassis at every possible point adding significant strength to the roll cage structure and to chassis rigidity.
