Their Carbon Wheels Were So Good They Got Banned From F1 w. Chris Shelley | Dymag

The problem with carbon wheels is that the moment you knick them they need to be replaced. Journalists have talked about how companies like Ford are constantly getting warranty claims on their carbon wheels bc of how easy them break. It makes more sense for motorcycles since they’re lightweight and have more axis they require operate on but I can see how car makers would just want to move back to metal-based wheels.

Will you be doing a podcast on the new Aston Martin Vantage?? That thing is gorgeous, and rivals a Porsche 911 Turbo S, apparently!!

[@CarChatPodcast]

No plans but I'd love to drive one!

@CarChatPodcast have you heard of Daniel Morad btw? AMG GT driver and Rolex 24 Champion, youtube streamer, and simracing extraordinaire... I actually met him in person at VIR last weekend, got his autograph! He was driving the GT4 this time around... great personality for a podcast! Very knowledgeable!

@CarChatPodcast btw, my apologies, he is a 2× winner at the Rolex 24 lol...

Carbon wheels isn't banned because they were too good. The wheel ia banned because of a safety concern. Yea carbon is very strong for its weight, but it can dent or anything. If a force hits it hard enough the wheel will shatter and therefore crate a MASSIVE safety risk. Different metals and alloys have the ability to bend, dent and buckle if a force hard enough hits it which is way safer. A dented wheel can many times still hold pressure perfectly fine and if it doesn't pressure will slowly decrease. If a big enough force hits a carbon wheel it will shatter and get completely destroyed which leaves you at 3 wheels in a car or 1 wheel on a bike, this is a very big safety concern because these scenarios will typically result in a uncontrollable crash. This is why carbon wheels is banned and why this video is absolutely bullshit. And yes hypercars use carbon wheels, but hypercars isn't built to the standards of a homologated racecar or racebike. Irritating to find misinformation on youtube that you absolutely have yo correct. Thanks for making such a stupid video with great misinformation.

Simply not the case. The late great Roberto Marchesini loved our wheels and wanted them to be sold as Marchesini wheels when I met him in 1997. They were full road tested and more durable than any aluminium wheel. He admitted to me over dinner not long before he passed away that he got them banned by the FIM when he found out that Carl Fogerty was about to test them at Philip Island at the end of the 1996 World Superbike season! He said it would have been different if I had agreed to co-brand them Marchesini, which I kinda wish I had agreed to with the benefit of hindsight! Chris S

Who are they? Also, why the massive cost increase over the years?

WOW, their carbon wheels are CHEAP! (if you compare them to Koenigseggs hollow carbon wheels that is😁)
