Torsion bars are used on Go-Karts to provide a performance advantage whilst cornering. Normally these are made from steel, however given the use of composites in Motorsports such as formula 1. Is it feasible to create a carbon fibre torsion bar and how will it perform against the steel.

Torsion of rectangular cross section
the rectangle equations will apply to the flat section of the torsion bar
the expectancy is that there will be greater stresses in the plate. thus why strain gauges have been placed in that section
