The following day we started constructing the monocoque using hand lamination. The result is two halves of the monocoque, which then can be put together to form our final monocoque.

Connecting the two halves to each other meant that we had to crawl into the monocoque trough our canopy opening. This was really exciting as it became clear to us that our monocoque is almost finished and we are actually sitting inside the VeloX2, that might break some records!

After a week of hard work, today was finally the time of de-molding the complete monocoque. Everything went smooth and the results are astonishing! We would like to thank Nedcam for the beautiful moulds which did their job perfectly and DSM Zwolle for helping us produce the monocoque using their experience and knowledge, we couldn’t have done it without them!
