    Didn't we see this very same car wrecked last year? Is it the same driver?

    There is a video posted on youtube where there appears to be some sort of front suspension failure.

    Same car, same driver!
    BUT: it was not the mistake of Joe. They had tested the car 2 weeks prior to the event and they had a suspension failure. They fixed it and it seems now that the same suspension part broke again in practice. I inspected the car when back behind the paddock.

    But good that nothing happened to Joe.

    Just terrible. WTF are they fixing in the front suspension incorrectly? It's a rhetorical question ...

    You're right, Bob. USA DoT bumpers would have saved him. Anyway, Citroen power brakes would have brought him to a safe stop. :rolleyes:

    What was the value of the car before the crash?

    Maybe they have Hasbro built them a Nerf version of that front end. That's a very bug ouch.

    Vintage race cars are typicalyl valued for their chassis number and it's provenance. As long as it's fixed properly it will not lose it's value.

    But that's just the problem here. It clearly is not being repaired properly. I wish them much better luck on the third go round.

    It depends on how much of the chassis and body could be saved now after it suffered its 2nd severe shunt!

    Walter,

    You are right. It's fortunate that the driver was able to walk away.

    What particular suspension part failed? Even in the photo of the car on the flatbed I do not see any irregularity in the car's posture. Perhaps a steering part actually?

    It seems the left front tire/spindle failed. If you look at the slow motion it appears to have failed before the car hits the grass.

    At the point I could not see it due to the damage! I talked little later with the restorer, Monsieur Sicard

    The front clip was new, the question is really chassis damage.
