    I hope they were doing some life-testing on that suspension, because they killed it...

    For sure the suspensions failed just before the rock. It is possible the rock made that cosmetical damage on the bumper, but suspension failed before it. Maybe there was a hole (after the rock was digged) and the hole made that. We can´t see it from our perspective.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    All manufacturer decided to have a central exhaust (except i20), it makes me curious... Weight distribution? unfortunately I don't find it the most aesthetic.

    I have a feeling that aesthetics are not a factor that is crucial when designing a race car.

    Must be because of airflow for the diffusor probably..

    That’s true. In the pic below you can see that that the suspension collapse before the rock



    But where did it come from? The three pics below are from the previous run. On the second pic you can already see a part of the rock and in the third, there it is. No conspiracy, Juho did it by himself . By the size of the rock there was a big hole in the road after the rock come up.
