In a production car or truck, adding pounds of noise- and heat-blocking insulation is often done to keep the cabin quiet and comfy, even on the hottest days. It’s a stark contrast to the world of racing, where modifications are evaluated for necessity versus a tenth-of-a-second or mile-per-hour of speed, since the additional weight could make the difference between victory and defeat. Strict focus on performance versus weight often means driver comfort is sacrificed. Another issue is that the exposure to high heat could result in component failure or performance loss.
Heatshield Products has developed thermal barriers and insulation engineered to keep heat out–or in—without adding significant weight. Decades of R&D work as well as being hands on with racers led us to create solutions for these problems. We recently worked on the T-Rex project, a car being built
