materials

For the materials structure typically 0.15 mm carbon fiber weave is used for a majority of the vehicle’s structure. It is both strong and light-weight as well as sandable which is important for fairing the aerodynamic design. In areas of high stress 0.3 mm unidirectional carbon ﬁber was used to reinforce the primary roll cage, secondary roll cage, chain stays, seat stays and gunwales. It should be notes that the carbon is aligned along Divinycell-F 50 was used as structural foam on the sandwich panel, secondary roll cage, gunwales, front drivetrain support, seat stays and chain stays. Divinycell-F 40 was used for the primary roll cage as it is more ﬂexible than the F 50 and allowed areas of higher curvature to be formed.
