ABOUT KYATCHI CARBON
Kyatchi Carbon designs and builds carbon fibre splitters for track cars and time attack builds out of a workshop in Melbourne. Each part is designed around the car and the class it runs in, so what bolts on is doing real work.
WHO’S BEHIND IT?
I’m Jarrod. I run Kyatchi Carbon.
I started out in composites doing cosmetic work and got pulled deeper into the side of it that actually had to perform on the car. The first couple of years of Kyatchi Carbon I spent making my own aero and running it at track events. Build a part, race, build a better one, rinse and repeat. That period laid the foundation.
What started in my mum’s garage now runs out of a proper workshop. Design, pattern making, tooling, hand layup, vacuum infusion, trimming, painting, and fitting all happen under one roof. Every part that leaves the door is designed, built, and signed off by me.
THE WORK
Every splitter project starts with the car. What it is, what class it runs in, what it has to put up with on track, and what the driver wants more of and less of.
The core aero shapes have been developed with CFD input from Nelson Phillips, so the geometry doing the real work is validated rather than guessed. From there, each part is sized and detailed around the specific car and its class regulations.
Clearance is designed in from the start. Low chassis points, control arm sweep, and anything else living under the car gets accounted for before the part is built.
Layup schedules are chosen based on the car’s power, the class it runs in, and the speeds the part will see, with unidirectional reinforcement used in specific areas to keep weight down without giving up strength where it counts.
If it isn’t right, it doesn’t ship.
Most of the work here is custom and covers sports sedans, time attack builds, club level track cars, and one off development parts. If you’ve got a build that needs aero designed around it rather than fitted to it, the best way to start is a conversation about the car, the class, and what you want it to do.
Built for people who can tell the difference.
