Pescarolo-Judd 2004see hi-res image

High performance composites developed for satellite structures are used by Pescarolo Sport in their racing car Pescarolo-Judd 2004 in several body structures of key importance and have resulted in an overall improved racing performance. These space composite materials are very stiff and light and by using them it has been possible for the racing team to construct a more rigid chassis with better aerodynamic performance. The overall weight of the car has been reduced by 38 kg providing a lower point of gravity, helping the team to better optimize the weight distribution. The picture presents the parts constructed with space composites.
