As adding weights to the car limits its performance at high speeds, designers and race technicians concentrate much on removing grams effectively, so as to reduce the curb weight of the car without compensating on the vehicle's performance. The use of aluminum materials has greatly helped the race cars because of its lightweight and strength. However, after the invention of carbon fibers, racing industries have shifted their concentration towards this stupendous material, which has lesser weight than aluminum, yet performs nearly about 4 times higher than aluminum.
