Does anyone actually know what Gen3 is? Apart from talk about some changes to the roll cage to allow for lower roof 2 door cars there doesn't seem to be much else that can't be achieved on the existing platform? ie. control suspension, different engines, etc.

Could the existing chassis be modified to allow for alternate bodywork? So teams don't have to throw out as much stuff?
