yea NOT.. I'm not talking about the vertical angles, but the horizontal. When one wheel is clearly much more narrow than the other they do point in different direction. You can even calculate the angle quite easily from the picture, but I don't bother. It's clear enough.

ah..yeah...you have a point in that one. Did the team say that something broke ? from the onboard footage it doesn't look like hirvonen hit something before the jump...there was a small jump before the one that the accident occured but the landing seemed fine.

All I heard was Jarmo said steering locked on landing.. Nothing from the team. But they may not have analyzed anything yet.

Yea, can't see anything special either.. could be a weak part.

Mikko's accident happened just few hundred meters after Urria's famous big jump. It's possible that something went broken already there.

From incar footage it looks clear that something was wrong. Landing was straight on the road, but when the car touched the ground, front of the car turned suddenly to the left.

Like I said, the front suspension will have some toe in, couple that with a bit of ackermann and voila, wheels pointing in a different direction and for very good reason if you understand ackermann.

The left is pointing straight forward. In that position ackermann makes absolutely no difference to the right wheel. ..Unless the links are broken of course.. in which case it may make a huge difference :)

2 day format was good. Fighting on day 1, more fighting on day 2 right down to the wire and no silly procession over a few stages on Sunday morning.
