Serious question.. That looks like a 2b to me, are the GBS cars still made in a similar way than the older RH's?

Not such a serious answer...........They are the same thing

That one looks like it has Sierra rear suspension, where as Tony's Zero has double wishbones.

Is that chassis finished? Or is the side usually like that ie no triangliation? Am i missing some enginering here?

Simple answer is a definitive NO they are not!!!! They are like chalk and cheese.

[Tony B]

that is a 2b, in all seriousness they are very good and strong chassis's but the Zero, as i have, is a completely different set up and design, the Zero has the double wishbones at the rear IRS and a box steel chassis that looks very much like the Westfields and indeed Caterhams, in fact tricky dicky has admitted that the Zero has been based in the early days on these models.

the 2b is such called because of the "tubular" (2b) chassis design and uses the entire rear Sierra subframe like some models of Tiger.

Tricky bought the company but i dont think they sell the 2b anymore, only the parts for them which is a huge business, the Gbs element is seperate.

As Tony says, the 2B is no longer made, Robin Hood no longer exists as a company and GBS are working very hard to distance themselves from that reputation. However as you mention the spares / parts for the older models are hugely popular and therefore worth supporting.
