Race Car Project - Time Attack Series

This project was to reduce the weight of the race car that Sam races in the UK Time Attack Series.

To achieve this Sam produced moulds of the original doors, inside and out using gel coat, fibreglass matting of various weights and resin.

After the moulds were made, the next step was the lay-up using layers of 210gsm carbon 2x2 twill, 2mm lantor soric and finally 210gsm Carbon Kevlar 2x2 twill, the whole setup was then infused with IN2 resin.

The finished product came in at 3.4kg, with the stock doors weighing in a little over 21kg!

Sam said he is over the moon with the final result and has learnt lots throughout the process.
