ArcenPower posted a topic in Westfields for Sale
1998 Westfield SEW Aerorace - road going competitive sprint, hillclimb and trackday car A road legal Lightweight Aerorace SEW chassis and an engine built with wide torque band and punchy top end. This car excels on the racetrack but is also a pleasure to hustle down the backroads. Having owning the car since 2018, this already championship winning vehicle has since helped me secure 1st in class victories in 2018,2020 and 2021 and as well as overall champion places of 2nd in 2018,2020 and 2021. Following a chassis up refresh in 2015 the car has been maintained and worked on by Northampton Motorsport. Over 15k has been spent on development in the few years to increase performance, reliability and make it suitable for large GP tracks such as Silverstone, Spa and the Nürburgring.

Westfield to use World's lightest material
Julian Turner - Westfield Sportscars Ltd posted a topic in Westfield Chesil Ltd.
http://westfield-sportscars.co.uk/westfield-sportscars-to-use-boeings-microlattice-the-worlds-lightest-material/ Press Release - 27th November 2015 Westfield Sportscars to use Boeing’s Microlattice, the world’s lightest material? Westfield Sportscars is pleased to announce that it will be collaborating with The Boeing Company and Universities in the UK, USA and China on the use of Microlattice in its future sports cars. Westfield have recently been awarded some Niche Vehicle Network funding to investigate the potential uses of it in the Niche Vehicle Sector. On 6th October 2015 The Boeing Company announced to the world they had created the worlds lightest material, Microlattice. Current plans are to use it in non structural parts of the aircraft, providing a large weight reduction. Microlattice is a synthetic porous metallic material consisting of an ultra light metal foam. It has a density of 0.9mg/cm3 being the lowest value of any know solid. It is one of the lightest structural materials known to science comparing against silica gels at 1.0mg/cm3. Voted as one of the top ten world innovations, 100% lighter than Styrofoam and being 99.99% hollow it can sit on top of a dandelion! Westfield are looking to use Microlattice in the vehicle to complement its already ultra lightweight philosophy. Julian Turner Chief Executive Officer said, “Due to the space constraints of our vehicles we have to innovate with materials and technology to enhance the products for our customers. We are very excited to be working with Microlattice as a complementary material in the vehicle. Microlattice has very different material properties to Carbon which is glass like in its structure so we are very excited to be given the opportunity to work on the project – This material is a game changer for our vehicles.” ENDS Notes to Editor: Westfield Sportscars Limited is one of the UK's leading hand built sports car manufacturers that is British owned and family run.
