Interesting.. a mix of factory woven and pre-preg, then resin transfer and autoclaving.. wouldn't like to curb one of those!
20% lighter though.. vs Forged or cast? And agreed, one serious rotor to push your nose through the windscreen when hanging on the anchors

Hmmm... I imagine that those huge low/wide tyres would weigh twice as much as the wheel, esp when inflated.
So that's probably only 5-10% overall weight reduction. DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com
