We don’t need to have folks going round and round in circles to further research in lightweight materials. In fact the DOE is funding research on lightweight vehicles. It is more likely race car industry is using materials de eloped by government funded programs than other say around. Same point re safety.

I don’t know the answer to this - but do you know what is mpg on average for the race car vehicles? My guess is, based on the “high rate of speed” the mpg won’t be too high.

Mr. Hunt, how dare u like that post. Go back to your room.

Carbon fiber technology has been around for a long time. US Airforce and NASA utilized it for aircrafts, whereas F1 brought it into the car realm. The technology is still too expensive to be used in high volume production vehicles. However, it won’t be like that forever and we’ll have Formula 1 to thank once it becomes ubiquitous.

Sure race cars use a lot of fuel but there aren’t a lot of them. Would you rather people race on designated race tracks or out on the public roads. Making car racing illegal wouldn’t stop people from racing cars.
