Abstract
In this investigation the front door design is considered for the LADA VESTA car. The investigation is aimed at solving the issue of the weight decreasing and at the same time increasing its crashworthiness, and applied to the practice situation in racing that whether this car door will be light and strong enough to withstand the different crashing forces which it can bear during the practice conditions. Although there isn’t any practical testing of a car but simulation through FEA by ABAQUS is performed to find out its strength and most importantly strength to weight ratio as compared to a conventional steel door which faces the same force with large weight.
