-It won't be very high unsprung mass, For example Kettering University 2015 uprights were fabricated from 4130 0.025" sheet and was 0.590 kg front and 0.545 kg rear. you can still make light and stiffer design out of sheet metals if you do it the right way, and In Egypt you will save TIME!

-I won't bother design side pods, for the radiators actually i would buy a good quality motorbike radiator, big enough, mount it at the rear of the car or maybe at the main hoop bracing and use a big fan, For the rotor you may need air if your brakes and wheel-package are very small, but with good brake design i think you can finish the endurance without any problems.
Hi Rizk,
Do you suggest a good single cylinder engine that have suppliers in Egypt?
