I love the holes, and yes swaging is a good idea in a stressed area, it will be fine where they have drilled. Have a look at an old Ferrari race car ... this guy was lazy compared to those . Remember we now have rollcages taking most of the shell loads.

If you have ever really raced a car you will end up with a drill and drilling holes too ... removing weight is cheap and benefits not just power to weight, but cornering, braking, etc. It is the best performance mod.

I personally think this looks like a well sorted and prepared race car (but expensive?) ... no point showing this one, just race it!
