Chassis failure has probably been caused by wheel cables.RicME85 wrote:I too was surprised at the damage done to the front of the tub but thinking back, the first contact partially detached the nose so when the second impact happened the nose came off completely and the front of the tub took the majority of the load instead of the nose.
Still, its no wonder Palmer has bruised feet.
What's going on there? Just hiding something?
