Motorsport Industry

Seen by many as the ultimate arena to test the ‘best of the best’ every motorsports company knows that winning is the only aim – second is the first-place loser. Material challenges include the wide, and still growing, choice of carbon fibre reinforced composites, super duplex stainless steels, many of the heat resistant super alloys (HRSA) found in the aerospace industry as well as magnesium and aluminium.

Business challenges in this sector include pressurised delivery timeframes, with little or no time to optimise machining efficiency, and constant design updates as the race season unfolds and more data is gathered from each race.
