I believe someone else posted about this recently so maybe a search will give you a better idea, but I have used 2mm for the floor and driver
footwell, and 0.9mm for all interior panels and side skins.

sounds about right = bear in mind that aluminium floor is not allow in the 750 race series - someone will no doubt correct me on that.

Unless you are correct, which I believe you are.
However blade engines are banned, you have to use a crossflow 
Some use 1.6mm on the floor (same a westfield/caterham?) but most choose 2mm I think.

But you can race in RGB in the 750mc if you have a bike engine, and in the kitcar class if it is a car engine but not a 1300cc crossflow.

Hi the only race championship that requries a steel floor is the 750 locost championship.
Both RGB and KITS CAN use ally floors. Sorry if it sounds like i bang on about it but people have read the wrong info both on here and from a
certain manufacturer regarding floors and it has cost them time and money. 
cheers matt
