Intention is to go fast long races of up to 6+ hours. Shell is monocoque, front wheel drive, partially clear bubble for view, disc wheels, "launch wheels", liner can be operated by the rider alone. It should handle well in turns, tilt angle is kept in 40 degrees, turn radius is to be defined later..
The concept is obviously based on some previous existing models, but this is bigger than most to fit myself inside. Pedal box is very large, it's been made for 180 crank lenght !!! I'm planning to make it more narrow with custom BB so I'm able to make fairing a bit lower/narrow. But need to finish the sketch first and make a cardboard model from those critical areas to see how my legs will fit to turn those huge cranks (shorter cranks are offcoure possible).
Front part looks too fat, I need to tune that.. :)
Measurements:
Height with canopy: 37"
Lenght : 114"
Width : 19"
Rider : 6'6", 192lbs

I think that you would be better off smoothing the line from the top of the bubble to the top of the front section, and add a front & side windows. You won't be able to see forward as it is currently.
