[Fast Eddie WRC]

Anyone criticising Paddon's speed on a PET need to to remember that these cars need to be driven at full speed for the aero to work properly.

Maybe.. But with all the effort, at such short notice, the was no contingency. A proper 2 day test in a test car would have been better. But hey.. Better to have tried, than not to try at all.

Paddon is not the first top class driver crashed on PET. Sometimes s*hit happens. Sorry for him getting chance return to WRC.

The side GoPro falls off from the impact of the rock. Must have been a big impact on the sump whilst the car was nearly at full compression.

You can see a gouge in the sump guard in the pictures of the car on its side

Am I the only one who thinks it's strange MSport don't have a contingency plan and can't get a new car to Finland in 2 days?

I mean when they accept the risk of testing on Monday they should have a car ready either in Finland (how much space does it take to have an extra shell with you?) or at least in GB and ready to fly in or even drive?

Can it be related to how much he pays?

Btw. afaik if the only had 2 cars and this happened to one of them I think they could get penalties/exclusion by FIA for not taking part with 2 cars on all rounds.

Had it happened to Ogier last year (who ofcourse would not have tested with his race car on Monday), the plane carrying a new Fiesta would have landed in Helsinki on Tuesday. But air freight is incredibly expensive, so it's understandable that the same option isn't there for Paddon.

the risk was at Paddons side,not Msport.
Msport will be paid.

The point is if he paid more, either upfront or after the crash, would he get a new car? I think so.
