Since CART, IRL, and F1 races are the only opportunity most people have to see how well sandwich composite construction holds up in a crash, many apparently come to assume that you have to have a $200,000 or $400,000 car to get that kind of strength. In reality, that kind of strength is inherent in almost any well made sandwich composite structure. The first person to survive a 200 mph crash while inside a sandwich composite monocoque was in 1983 at the Reno air races.
