Door card material
Last time i was on track it was a warm day and i got asked to wear a jumper because i had no door cards, he didnt want me to get a cut or anything.
so what is the best material for a doorcard, obv has to be lightweight. Dont fancy paying £££ for carbon fibre, after something cheap as chips!

I went with S1 rallye cards. With my old cage and seats I could no where near have standard door cards due to the room they take up.
Deffo going with a bit of polycarb this time round!

suppose the lightest thing you can buy cheaply would be fibreglass roofing sheet --stuff they use for flat roofs --very thin and usualy grey in colour --not very high gloss ,but very light
suppose it all depends on what your looking for --ulitmate weight saving or looks
one sheet would do all doors ,tailgate and rear 1/4 panels .
