In recent years a new application for advanced composite materials has been in the construction of load-bearing components for Formula 1 racing cars. Their use has been progressively extended and they currently comprise a major part of the vehicle assembly for all competing Formula 1 designs. Here the experiences gained with these materials at Williams Grand Prix Engineering are described. The initial interest in this technology was for optimisation of structural efficiency. A wide range of component design criteria are covered and advantages have also been found in the areas of strength, impact performance, geometric accuracy and speed of manufacture.
