    Our mechanics are the best in the world and they love a challenge! @TeemuSuninenRac’s Fiesta is back in service and work to repair the rollcage is underway! #WRC #FordPerformance

    I normally use rally base but it´s empty this time.
    e-wrc, scroll down past stage and overall classifications, usually driver comments under that

    Don't forget, it's not just the impact speed of the car travelling at the tree, but the car was being flipped over at the same time so the force of rotation has to be taken into account as well.
    If it was a straight side on, the roll cage may have escaped damage, but the site of impact was top of rear side window directly above the roll cage.

    the team is allowed to repair the roll cage during rally? that's interesting, but if so, then let's hope they can do it and rejoin tomorrow

    Unfortunately, having inspected the damage we got on SS14, we had to retire from the @RallySweden. The rollcage was damaged, so we were not allowed to drive any further. What a pity. After having had a series of good times, it feels disappointing. #WRC #RallySweden

    I agree with that penalty yes, no need to cause a precedent, but real life can`t follow the rules all the time....

    They can fix it as they manufactured the roll-cage...

    okay, understood. does every team make their own roll cages? if not, then it seems a bit unfair to those..

    Good point, a glancing blow is a different beast.
