Can I ask a geeky question please - from what material?

[Jeweller70]

Ductile Iron I believe. We prefer this to steel as proven in my teams race experience.

Dont get in a technical debate with me on this as I dont have the knowledge, My guys built an amazing race engine for me so I take their view.

No plans to debate it. Just a sucker for details. Although I'll be honest and admit I have never heard of ductile iron.
