Sounds rather made up...

DJRTP chassis are supplied as a complete spaceframe by PACE Innovations, i.e., it's the most straightforward way you could receive a spaceframe -- as a complete unit from control supplier.

DJR Team Penske will have Gold Coast-based Pace Innovations continue to build its chassis, with the first car now on the jig and scheduled to hit the track early next season.

Shell V-Power Racing already had a new Pace Innovations-constructed chassis at its workshop, which had been painted ready to be built-up into a complete car.

[Tickford] is set to wheel out its spare Mustang, which was last seen as a wildcard with Thomas Randle at the wheel at the OTR SuperSprint in August. That car has a long history, having been the first Car of the Future-spec Falcon FG to be completed by the team in 2012, before being upgraded to an FG X and eventually a Mustang.

As Mostert racing an 8 year old car shows, it goes without saying that all COTF chassis are the same, and there is no disadvantage or advantage to using one chassis over another, assuming it has been correctly repaired to the original specification following major crashes.
