Unfortunately our team (not in this video), has a steel spaceframe chassis, however we do make, (and make the moulds for) full carbon fibre body work. Which we are actually doing a layup for as I type this.
yeah, steel space frame is comfortable! my last 2 chassis were steel space frame, the jig was harder to make! lol. But a monocock carbon fibre chasis is another level! not only for fixing methods, use of adhesives, FEA analysis, equivalency calcs, and last but not least the molds. Very very expensive, way out of our university's budget.
Body work is considerably easier, our floor pan, steering wheel, pedal box and body work were carbon fibre. but we could not attempt a chassi :(
hi, your car is amazing.nice to meet you at fiorano event 2008.

question to you: how much of this car did the students make? also are undergrad students alowed to take part or is it post grad only?

It's generally entirely (or mostly) undergrad students (at least in the US) And we build the entire car, from design to competition.
