Who’s this guy anyway?

Do you ever go down a YouTube rabbit hole and for the new few weeks, all recommended videos are of that topic? I thought I would watch a few videos on aerodynamics and it just never ended 😅

That got me interested enough to get a job at a local composites shop, making cosmetic parts like lips and side skirts. Looked cool, zero function. I wanted to make parts that actually make a car go faster, so I quit and started Kyatchi Carbon in my mum’s garage. Thanks mum!

I knew how to make lips, but nothing about making splitters, let alone ones that make real downforce and survive hundreds of kilos of load. I just gave it a go and made my first splitter. It was super basic, but I thought it was so cool. I kept making them, each one a bit better and stronger than the last. I got Nelson Phillips on board to do the CFD and two years of improvements later they’re now they’re landing on the podium at World Time Attack!

It’s still just me here in Melbourne, doing the CAD, the layups, the infusions, the packing, all of it. No marketing team and no big factory yet Just a guy who fell down the rabbit hole of motorsport aero and never came back out.

Now I’m here running Kyatchi Carbon, and you somehow found your way to my website. That means a lot. Thanks for stopping by, let’s make something cool together. Oh an my name is Jarrod.
