Not sure yet. We all know which massive crashes happened on shakedown before some events, and drivers could still start. It's still monday now.
No way this time.

I'd be surprised if they couldn't fix that.

The biggest problem may be the insurance.
There is usually a clause that will only allow one claim per 'event'.
If they have taken separate cover for the test it may be okay. If it's one single policy covering test and rally then that may be a problem.

M-Sport usually self-insure: they don't have external insurance as it's too expensive.
THat's well known from when they lose a car to fire: that's a catastrophe as it's a total loss. EVen the worst accident can still salvage lots of value.

They save Fiesta from that year when Tanak drove crash into water completely. And he still race that weekend.

But if the rollcage/bodyshell is too badly damaged, they need to take the car back to Cumbria to fix it.

But this is effectively a 'customer' entry. That car will have gone nowhere without insurance cover.
