Racing Grade Woven Plate by 3Racing GRAP-2025

For competitive tuners requiring controlled chassis flex, the 3Racing 2.5mm Woven Graphite Plate delivers a predictable stiffness profile. The 2.5 x 450 x 600mm sheet is suitable for strategic reinforcement points and lightweight structural parts.

Material Characteristics for Setup Tuning

The woven fibre architecture provides consistent stiffness with a favourable strength-to-mass ratio, helping preserve tuning changes across runs. Its construction reduces localised stress concentrations, which is important when dialing handling balance at the track.

Racing Applications and Advantages

  • Used for trimming precision chassis plates and strategic reinforcements.
  • Minimises unwanted chassis twist while keeping mass low.
  • Woven construction improves resistance to impact induced cracks.
  • Panel size supports multiple component layouts for setup variants.

How does a 2.5mm plate influence tuning compared with thinner sheets?

A 2.5mm plate raises local stiffness noticeably versus thinner material, which can reduce chassis flex and change weight transfer characteristics; use it selectively to tune understeer and responsiveness.

Where are the best locations to fit this plate for racing balance?

Common areas are centre rails, battery trays or brace points where increased torsional rigidity yields the largest handling gains without excess mass.

Any machining tips for maintaining dimensional precision?

Use CNC or guided cutting with sharp tooling and slow feeds; finish with fine abrasive to prevent fibre lift and ensure tight tolerance mounting surfaces.

Which fastener practices suit racing use?

Use countersunk alloy screws with load-spreading washers and consider threadlocker for vibration resistance; combine with epoxy for non-removable structural joints.
