I seem to remember hearing that they can dip in the middle at speed? Is there any truth to this? I was going to add a strip of foam core down the centre, or add a support across above the main rollcage hoop. Just wandered what u guys thought?

I can remember my mates roof being floppy at higher speeds but never dip in.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

I no very little about aerodynamics, and after reading two books I know realise I know even less lol. That said, I would be very suprised to see a high pressure area in the roof.
