What is the purpose of the hoop within the front subframe? Will it be connected at the front end to the subframe?
It will be connected. As well as that's the rough location of drivers feet amd pedal assembly. So there a little extra protection and mounting surface there.
I love the update but what is the weight distribution going to end up as. There doesn't seem to be much in the front to offset the weight of that engine.

There isn't, unfortunately it will be quite rear heavy. I'm considering moving as much as I can up towards the front, ie. Battery, possibly fuel, anything else.
Update. More bracing added. Shock towers starting to come together. Its clearer now how its going to look different than many Locost and similar build which often use inboard suspension.
