Paul's 50 foot Sunseeker Camargue
A Single piece bespoke carbon fibre dashboard. Paul wanted to mount two large chart plotters across the main panel, these had to be angled towards the driver to stop the glare off the screens and they needed to sunk into the face of the dash. It has been manufactured using a SP systems non-gasing M foam layered between carbon fibre, all using marine grade resins. Finished in 2x2 Twill Carbon Fibre and a durable 2pack gloss lacquer, to give a finish that is completely air bubble and pin hole free that will last the life of the boat without deteriorating. |

Sunderland University Formula Student Carbon Fibre Body shell
This year, the University of Sunderland racing team (SU Racing) competed in their seventh car, SU10 at the 2010 Formula Student at Silverstone in July. They were in need of some very light weight bodywork, to keep the overall weight of the car to a minimum. The mold was made from engineering drawings, and had to be accurate to within a millimeter to fit over their precise roll hoop and chassis. The bodywork needed three removable panels built in for scrutineering and access purposes, these had to be flush fitting and easily removed. They also need a set of sidepods to aid airflow to their side mounted radiators. The body work is attached from the inside to remove unsightly holes needed for the body attachment Zeus clips. The only holes will be for the suspension components, and fixings for removable access panels. The shape of the car has been inspired by the Aston Martin one-77 super car, with some resemblance to the 1930’s Auto Union race cars. A large, bold grille on the front, painted with the car’s number will hide the impact attenuator, and smooth curving lines will conduct air towards the side pods containing the radiators, and to the engine and exhaust to help remove heat while also reducing drag. The team feels that as the car will not reach high speeds there is no need to design in ground effects or down force to keep the car planted to the track. Here are some pictures following the SU10 from drawings to track. Click here to go to the SU Racing website to find out more about the car, the team and their current activities. |

Ray Reeds Quattro Rally Car The sump guard was particularly interesting as it was made using 3mm of 2x2 twill kevlar and 3mm of ballistic quadraxial fibreglass. which means that it has the structural, abrasion and impact properties of both Composites. There is a long list of composite parts to build for Ray's Quattro. We are currently making him kevlar front wings, with possibly carbon doors and anything else he thinks up for the future. |
