The fibreglass Formula hoods tend to bow in the middle, in front of the hood hinge area. A lot of it is due to the long strip of reinforcing metal that runs the length of the bracing from back to front. Instead of preventing the bend, it turns into a lever and acts as a bending force after a while. Once you get a bend in it, it continues to multiply the bending force and after a few years the hood looks like what's on this car.
