Bodywork and Aerodynamics

3D Model

A model of our bodywork

The bodywork is made from 3mm thick fibreglass (250 grade woven cloth), laid up over a male core of MDF cross-sections and polystyrene foam blocks. It is constructed in four major sections which facilitate easy access to all systems for maintenance.

  • the nose extending forward to front roll hoop (with cutouts for the suspension)
  • RH cockpit section
  • LH cockpit section
  • engine bay cover (time permitting)

The engine bay cover will incorporate some ducting for the radiator and engine air intake, and will be able to be modified to incorporate ducting for a second radiator on the other side if required.

The bodywork is being constructed with a huge amount of assistance from Buchanan Advanced Composites. Our thanks for your support in this area.
