    What would WRC teams do with cars after serious accident

    This may seem unusual, but what would a WRC team (or any other team) do with a car if there was a serious injury or worse accident with spectators? Would the team continue to use the car or would they stop using it or sell it on? Hopefully this scenario never happens.

    Not a WRC team, but I remember from a car involved in a fatal accident (i'm not going to call any names, and unfortunately there are too much to choose from ), that the parts they could recover were recovered and used again.

    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    That Peugout would have suffered SEVERE damage and it probably was beyond repair anyway.

    AFAIK Novikov`s car from Australia 2011 was rebuilded.



    And for example Colin McRae`s car from Finland 2003 was destroyed.

    They definitely should unmount the destroyed car and give/sell the parts to fans. I bet can could get some extra bucks doing that.

    he is talking about accidents that involve spectators not accidents in general that destroy the car....
