The solution for the lateral force loading has not been decided yet. First I need to run a few CFD analyses with the car in yaw to find a maximum loading condition. Once the maximum loading condition is found we will run FEA on the uprights. From there we will come up with an engineering decision if it needs bracing and/or how much.
