Visa Cash App RB’s Challenge:
How can we create a mirror casing that is lighter, fully recyclable, and capable of withstanding the extreme demands of Formula 1TM racing?
Holy’s Solution:
Using Holy’s Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) technology, we delivered:
- 20% weight reduction, enhancing speed and efficiency.
- 100% recyclability, with parts recycled during in-season design updates.
- Track-proven durability and surface finish, meeting Formula 1TM standards.
About the Collaboration
Formula 1TM teams like Visa Cash App RB exist to push the boundaries of what is technically possible, testing innovations at the absolute limits of performance. These breakthroughs often pave the way for applications in other industries. In this collaboration, the Visa Cash App RB partnered with Holy Technologies to develop a lighter, recyclable mirror casing, showcasing how cutting-edge engineering can meet extreme performance demands without compromise.

How we made it happen
Design Optimization
- Visa Cash App RB provided CAD files and detailed specifications, including load cases.
- Continuous fiber paths were optimized to achieve significant weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity.
Advanced Fiber Placement
- Holy's Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) technology precisely placed fibers on the double-curved 3D geometry to handle specific load cases.
- Reinforced holes, undercuts, and localized thickness adjustments were seamlessly integrated into the preform design.
Sustainability in Action
- The original component was fully recycled, with materials repurposed for new design iterations.
- Second life fibers were reused for mirror casings, meeting the same high-quality standards, even in their second life.
