Good stuff. It's between E-glass and S-glass, which is 20% better, but rarely used. It seems unlikely to have the extra crash toughness of Aramid or Spectra fibers with their extreme stretch in tension. Those are not used in F1 cars, because they like to get chunks that can be glued back together after a crash. The tough stuff just turns into a bag.
