I don’t often reply but follow this forum regularly but a couple of points worth making & related are that Ott has obviously ‘bounced’ off a compression in the stage & broken the suspension which has obviously bottomed out & thus broke. A similar situation to Monte in ‘20 as that’s what sent him off the road then also. It reminds me of the C3 & when Kris bounced it off into a car park in Mexico 🤔
Of course there’s an advantage to running lower & maybe that’s where Otts speed came from on Saturday.

maybe...we will never know because for that one of us should work in the team.
After the rally he said to Estonian media that finally the hard and long work with engineers is starting pay off, so i think it means something else than just lowering the car.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

I saw Loubets car after the crash and it was quite heavily damaged.

i doubt its just about lowering the car, otherwise it wouldnt have taken 1.5 years?
hyundai has had pretty catastrophic suspension failure before too (neuville front suspension through the hood, also not driver induced) so it could just be that tänak found another weakpoint of the hyundai, good that it came before kenya

That failure in Turkey 2018 was due to a mechanic error in service. Mikkelsens driveshaft failure on same rally was supposedly also due to mechanic error (some screws were missing).
Nandan said one or more people were kicked afterwards.
Arguably without any of those two issues Hyundai would have won manu championship that year.
