What is a Formula 1 race car made of?

Answer 1

The pod, (the shell around the driver) is made out of "Carbon Fiber", excluding the metal parts, a combination of plastic, fiber-glass and again carbon fiber. Answer

what is a car made of

Carbon Fibre

The various components are made of different materials the chassis is usually made of carbon fibre, which is lighter and relatively stronger as compared to most metals.

alternatively graphite fiber, carbon graphite or CF, is a material consisting of extremely thin fibers about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber very strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn, which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. Carbon fiber has many different weave patterns and can be combined with a plastic resin and wound or molded to form composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (also referenced as carbon fiber) to provide a high strength-to-weight ratio material.
