Martin...markk has a point being a rally driver....fit new seats your budget would allow it.

Safety is paramount to you guys and these monstrous engines.

All the banter aside...there aint no coming back from death.

I'd bin them! (well...ok, I'd Ebay them ) if they are Carbon Fibre.

Carbon is extremely difficult to test as to whether it is damaged, and when it goes it'll just be total failure!

I know with aircraft, Boeing are doing the 787s primary structure from Carbon, a bit worrying really, as a £4.50/hr bagage handler drives his truck into the side, woo, it didnt dent it, phew, wont report that....and then the aircraft primary structure fails in flight, killing everyone
It's extremely difficult to detect damage with that stuff

Awesome car though Martin, hopefully see it at the trackdays this year
