do you believe they would take the risk to ruin another rally by using parts that might have undetected failures in them?

i didnt talk about undetected failures,i said about stripping detecting and saving parts.M sport have the equipment to do that.
Same procedure goes for the NEW ones.

just because a fuel pump works fine now, doesn't mean she could break within a few kilometers of special stage.

same applies for a new one that hadnt ever a crash.

just because the wiring seems fine now, doesn't mean it cant be damaged and start doing faulty things when exposed to heat and shocks.
would you drive a car flatout if you knew that the calipers and springs from that crash are on them? i wouldn't.

wiring will be checked from the same guy that PRODUCE them by hand.
Malcolm will not sent to wastebasket a wiring loom that costs some 6-7-8k euro,because car had a crash.
Same for calipers.There are spares,there are given tolerances from manufacturer,there are x rays that they will inspect something that a human eye cant detect.
And yes if they are inspected ,i havent got any problem to drive this car.

metal fatigue and overstressing are weird stuff to calculate. that's why the factory teams replace pretty much everything every service/rally. not because it's broken, but to be sure it isn't going to break untill the next service.

of course it could be that they will reuse those parts, but i find it hard to believe.

you really think that all these crashes we have seen from wrc/r5 cars,that all these spare parts went to waste basket,because fatigue and overstressing is difficult to calculate?
No way.
