Building a record-breaking Validation Prototype by hand requires precise craftsmanship to ensure the different components of the vehicle fit together seamlessly.
In this process, our team closely worked together to create glass fibre parts out of moulds to the specific shapes we need. These parts will be used in the wheel housings offering both resistance to stone chipping and the lightness we’re looking for.
Working with glass fibre is a tedious process: it requires a precise method, refined moulds made with the right precision, and an extensive layering process.
