Polycarbonate Glazing for Racing Cars
When speed is at the heart of the action, every second counts. To enhance the performance of racing cars, Cleargard® offers a range of ultra-light polycarbonate windows and racing car glazing, without compromising driver safety and visibility.
Polycarbonate is the material of choice for the motorsport sector because it combines high performance, lightweight glazing, optical clarity, and impact-resistant properties. It is twice as light as traditional glass of the same thickness. Renowned for its ease of processing, polycarbonate racing windows also offer design freedom, enabling the creation of complex-shaped side windows, rear windows, tinted solutions, and enhanced properties thanks to specialized coatings.

Thanks to its strength-to-weight ratio, polycarbonate automotive glazing significantly reduces the weight of racing cars while ensuring unmatched durability. Reducing weight is crucial for racing vehicles: optimized weight savings improve acceleration, top speed, handling, and reduce CO2 emissions. In fact, 75% of fuel consumption is linked to vehicle weight.
Unlike glass, Cleargard® polycarbonate windows do not crack or shatter and withstand violent impacts. In the event of an accident, they guarantee maximum driver protection, enhancing overall vehicle safety.
Furthermore, polycarbonate racing windows offer exceptional design freedom: custom tints, anti-UV, anti-scratch, anti-fog coatings, and complex shapes. Manufacturers can create aesthetic and functional side windows, rear windows, and windshields aligned with the latest trends in automotive design.
