Wow, the framing is nearly identical, and even the lettering position on the LF tire is nearly the same, LOL.
Something's gone Arai with the Canaian's head tho ;-)

I'm not a race fan, so excuse ignorance; the chassis look identical, from the running gear right down to the wing configurations & bodies. Does everyone use the same chassis, or is it coincidence that these two used the same one?

How do you find the sharpness with this combination? Are you using the Canon 2.0x II or another flavor?

I'm not sure about A1 but in F1 there are very strict rules about sizes or parts etc, so much so that the designs are almost always extremely similar. They also are the most aerodynamic shapes and in a race where every millisecond counts, aerodynamics and grams of weight can win or lose a race for you. So yeh, they're basically all the same!

I think that in the A1 series, all the chassis are identical. That't the attraction. It comes down to the drivers and teams getting themselves sorted and there is less emphasis on increasingly-expensive R&D to push up the price for the race fans.

Yes, i was using it with the Canon TC v2. Well, the image quality (IQ) with this combo is like adding a soft focus filter the the 300mm.
