Let's hear some opinions on number of carbon layers for non structural panels of a race car.
E.g. a front bumper and fenders. Need to be rigid enough for high speed but doesn't need to take any other forces as aero devices are fitted to the structure of the car.
Would e.g. 1 top layer 200 gram with a 2nd layer of 650 gram mat be sufficient?
