Yeah, its amazing how CART/F1 cars are designed. I saw a special on it, that every part of the car could break apart, and the driver would still be just fine in the little cacoon of carbon fiber and some other materials that make up the drivers area. Supposively its on the the strongest materials for its thickness ever designed. I don't know what all layers it consists of though. Its carbon fiber and like 4 other things. All very lightweight obviously.
