Aluminium doors

Carbon fibre not road legal due to way they break up on impact. Some lightweight 'glass' doors with integral Cup mirrors are available.
 
Really Melv? What about cars like KTM xbow, its full of CF? Also Caterham has CF wings etc. I've heard that CF isnt legal for some race series, but not for road use.
 
Would be interesting to see that bit of legislation? F40, F50 , Venturi and Carrera GT ? all have them don't they ?

They also have built-in side impact protection. Russ doesn't mention a cage - but would a standard RS cage be enough to protect the driver from a side impact through a carbon fibre door?
 
good point, could just be the doors that arent allowed on a car due to intrusion into the driver space. Seems like a credible strory
 
This from a pal who has made a 996 Cup road legal.......carbon doors had to be replaced............

dp was there before anybody had heard the name Alzen....[;)] I´d rather spend the money on track time and coaching, helped me more each time than any lightweight part can do[:D] Hacki
 
Good point Hacki, but I had thought that glass parts might be cheaper than steal, ali, if my car ever enters the track competitively. How wrong was I?
