Tungsten Heavy Alloy in Motor Sport

Tungsten heavy alloy is the best material to be used as counterweight which can be used in motor sport, because it has the good properties: high density with small volume, high temperature resistance, non-toxic and environmentally. Adding our ballast weight helps to provide competitive advantage by giving the ability to add ballast within confined spaces in exactly the correct place to both trim the weight distribution and lower the centre of gravity of a competition car and still meet the minimum weight requirements.

The minimum weight requirements of motor sport formulae are often met with ease as more exotic materials give designers the ability to create lighter and stronger components in the search for greater performance. A lower centre of gravity can also be achieved by adding tungsten skid plates, which also protect the lower parts of the chassis, especially important in F1, where a ride-height monitoring plank is used.
