When compared to the ultra expensive gold satellite tape (F1) currently used by F1 teams, the new spec tape (USA) is identical in thickness and weight and boasts very comparable performance for less than 1/3 of the price!
Even more significantly, this heat reflective tape offers much higher performance at less than 1/2 the weight of the leading competitor's "gold" tape (Brand M).
