    Medium: a person who interposes themselves between living and unliving persons durring seances.

    Are you asking what happens when a medium has a chassis damaging wreck in a carbon fiber tub Ferrari?

    Or

    Are you asking about a wreck that is above minor but obviously less than a total write off?

    Basically, if the chassis pick-up points have been moved in the wreck, the tub is a write off. The pick off points carry the loads from the suspension, engine, tranny, and body structures.

    Hello,for medium wrecks I mean adamage for example on the right side under the door,where driver and passenger are ok,chassis point of suspensions are ok,but is cracked a lateral side and a part of the bottom floor.
    The other part of the monocoque are ok.
    In this case what is the better solution to repair it?
    Thanks to all!

    It can be repaired. Properly, by someone with expertise in real carbon fibre fabrication. Depending upon the damage and the position of that damage will determine if the car must be stripped.

    Where is your location? Contact your local dealer first, then maybe an aircraft repair facility for contact advise.

    My neighbour facility here does all the carbon repairs for Indycar tubs as well as most top fuel dragster/funnycar teams.
