Hi all,

i´m trying to do a race seat for my car buy i have no idea of how many layers i should apply to make a good compromise between cost/weight/rigidity.
I was thinking in carbon/glass/soric/glass/carbon but no idea of how many layers and grams of each one.

Anyone can help?

Thanks in advance!

David

doesnt matter what it is 90g satin/200g the bond on a Kevlar is always worse than anything else

Years ago you would find loads in noses and chassis in F1,with the very thinking you mentioned "it will hold it together"

Them we had to start doing crash tests every year and found out it wasn't as good as people had always thought and the  failure in the test was the Kevlar it failed in the bond,flew apart in great big bits and didn't disapate the energy

All the f1 now use zylon  as anti intrusion but the panels are glued onto the outside of the completed chassis rather than being in the laminate
