 YUKT!!!!! F-1 tested closed Canopies today in search of improved driver safety. After Massa's accident in Hungry the FIA is looking ...but not too hard at Canopies. It will never happen!! Chris  |

UH...what will the canopy be made of that could improve driver safety? Perhaps a surplus F16 canopy? I hate the idea! That being said...it does look exceedingly slippery!

On www.totalf1.com they have some test video of a 20lbs wheel being shot by a rocket(or similar) at a canopy, the standard Lexan or ? was demolished , next up a Fighter plane canopy which actually held up rather well. But the concern is getting a driver out after a bad accident ?? I guess next up would be Ejection Seats?? LOL.... Chris |

I think it looks kinda cool. But perhaps now it looks too much like a fighter jet.
