I suspect this subject has been done, and I'm prepared for the usual "go
to the archives" reply, but I'll take a shot. I'm crazy like that. Besides,
it needs updating...
Carbon Fiber for Roll cages or anything structural currently using T.A.
rules Steel.
All I found recently was FIM (I think) approves it in F1 and other road
racers. It also is standard in at least a few super cars, i.e., Ferrari. I
read some manufacturers sites promos/tech that say it is comparable to what is
required in LSR, but the diameter is like half what we use.
I also saw there is all kinds of manufacturing processes, and lots of crap
available. Most of the crap seems to go for the accessory after market for
hoods, spoilers, shift knobs, basically non structural.
Somebody sent me the You Tube vid of that Toyota CF loom, I guess where we
migjht be going ?
Edjicate me...
