Product information
Our polycarbonate windows are hand crafted to order by our experienced UK based team. They are designed to be safe, strong and lightweight, making them ideal for motorsport. They are much stronger than glass and shatterproof, unlike Perspex and other acrylics, so you are well protected whilst driving.
Our standard windows are manufactured from 4mm thick polycarbonate to comply with Motorsport UK regulations, whilst we also 5mm FIA compliant and hard-coated options for those looking tougher windows.
All of our windows are available in a choice of clear, bronze or grey polycarbonate so can choose the windows that best suit your car. You also have the option to add window sliders to either one or both of the front door windows depending on your preference.
How long does an order take to ship?
We will confirm receipt of your order straight away and will be in touch if we have any questions regarding your order. Standard polycarbonate orders are usually manufactured and despatched within 1-2 weeks of the order being placed. Specialist orders - for example if you choose hard-coating plastic - will take longer, but we will contact you and discuss this with you. If you need your order by a certain date then please let us know.
Can I fit the window myself?
Yes, it is straight forward to remove an existing window and install a RacePlastics polycarbonate window. There are plenty of guides on YouTube to help you do this.
Can I collect the order myself?
Yes, we usually courier orders out to our customers, but if you contact us, we can arrange for collection from our Leeds factory.
How can I change my order?
If you need to discuss or change your order in any way, please get in touch with the team at the earliest chance. We will always try to accommodate any changes but costs may be incurred if the manufacturing process has already started.

The Triumph TR7/TR8 rally car
The Triumph TR7 and TR8, with their distinctive wedge-shaped designs, carved a unique niche in the rally world during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The TR7, initially introduced with a four-cylinder engine, was a bold departure from Triumph's traditional sports car design, and it brought a fresh perspective to rally stages. Its low-slung, angular profile was not just a style statement but also contributed to its aerodynamic efficiency and handling prowess. Despite early challenges, the TR7 evolved with significant improvements, especially when fitted with the more powerful 16-valve Dolomite Sprint engine, enhancing its competitiveness in the rallying scene. Its rear-wheel-drive layout and well-balanced chassis offered a dynamic driving experience, enabling it to tackle the diverse terrains of rally stages with commendable agility and control.
The Triumph TR8 represented the pinnacle of this model's rallying evolution, boasting a powerful V8 engine that transformed the car into a true rally beast. The TR8's thunderous roar and raw power were a significant leap from the more modest TR7, making it a formidable competitor in international rally events. Its V8 engine, combined with the inherent balance and handling characteristics of the TR7 platform, made the TR8 a well-rounded rally car capable of competing against the dominant rally machines of its time. In the hands of skilled drivers, the TR8 could unleash its full potential, demonstrating impressive speed and agility, particularly on fast and flowing rally stages. Both the TR7 and TR8 played pivotal roles in showcasing British engineering in the world rally championships, leaving a lasting legacy as symbols of innovation and triumph in the face of fierce competition. They continue to be celebrated by motorsport enthusiasts for their unique contributions to the rally heritage, embodying the spirit of adventure and engineering excellence that is quintessential to the sport.
