Is it just me or does NOT seem a little insecure about his 'floppy'?

I must say that 0.1% is a bit high, but i am having a good day so far and i feel generous.

Reports say that weakest parts in their endurance testing (car #1)
Dampers (shock absorber), worst week 5 pieces totally gone.

Poor design or bad parts?

Could be whatever. I think even if you use Öhlins, you could make some parts yourself. And the dampers/suspension is mounted on parts belonging to car, eg. homemade WRC parts for Yaris.
So... not good anyway.

They use BOS, correct. (unless they have changed since last I heard). Weird decision but I'm sure they had their reasons.

Dunno if they are under contract or if they can change if they are unhappy. Maybe also external factors like Toyota has an agreement with them.
