According to FSAE rules, main hoop bracing end should be properly triangulated to base of main hoop and at a point where upper side impact member meets main hoop. Does putting the main hoop bracing at point 2 violates Fsae rules? or should it be at point 1.

If you can't see the image in the fsae forums, then please open the above link. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You can use either as long as you properly triangulate them.

Option 2 can be made legally but might be somewhat heavier than option 1 as there is more rules dictated tubesizes.
