for an assignment at Uni I have to investigate suitable composite materials available for the manufacture of the bottom front faring on an F1 car

now I know a fair bit about composites, and generally carbon fibre will be the one to go with, I just need some pictures and info on the design of the front faring as my F1 knowledge is very limited (drag racer through and through)

any help greatly appreciated, thanks guys

Not sure whether it would be that helpful to discuss, but there have been murmurs for a while about mandating an outer skin of aramid on all F1 bodywork to stop the splinters of carbon being left lying around the track to puncture tyres after impact.

We used plywood on the underside of the front splitter of our GT1.
Really.
