The motorsport industry has continuously been a primary adopter of innovative technology, motivated by the desire to decrease weight. Formula 1 have utilised lighter and stiffer materials for decades; in 1981 McLaren transformed the building of racing cars with the manufacture of F1's first carbon fibre monocoque.
The pioneering work continues; the motorsport industry is still committed to developing new composite solutions. Composites in motorsport will explore new composite material developments in motorsport related applications including package of pilot, engine, tyres, aerodynamics, technical innovation and reliability.
“NetComposites would like to welcome you to Composites in Motorsport 2019. This two-day conference provides an action-packed programme, spotlighting the current and future use of composite materials in motorsport,” organisers report.
