Challenge 01

Minimal Weight

Due to their minimal weight window of 156kg total teams are always looking for developments to lighten the race car weight for performance advantage.

Solution

Designed and manufactured superior carbon fibre panels saving 7.2kg over original aluminium panels. Weight savings equivalent to additional 2.4hp on a 28hp motor massive performance gains.

Durability Performance

Racing Abuse

Racing panels must withstand significant abuse from rocks and large clumps of dirt whilst maintaining structural integrity and appearance.

Solution

Superior carbon fibre construction provides exceptional strength and durability holding up flawlessly to racing conditions whilst maintaining professional appearance.
