Mayf, Jim and list
Whilst I have considered composite chassis construction - it suits a
vehicle capable of running pavement surfaces and track lengths we have in
Europe.... I would be concerned about using composites where there maybe
multiple impacts and long duration accidents, unless such 'failure' could
be analysed. I agree that in circuit racing they test chassis sides, roll
over protection and nose boxes in the finished construction at full size,
but these replicate I believe just hitting the wall/fence once and stopping
or being hit once by another car.
