Took a beer with one ex-UQTR team member the other day. He told us the story of the event: Last minute fix before the comp, they added a bracket. When the new guy from the team put the suspension back on one of the rod-end (On both sides) wouldn't fit so instead of telling the guys the bracket wasn't working he grinded the rodends so he could mount it. They've missed it at bolt check and well you see the results, after some runs it failed miserably! Found a wheel in the bleachers!

it should never fail DURING the race.
ideally the car should disintegrate just as it crosses the finish line (a sudden catastrophic failure without any warning or loss of performance until the race is over).
anything less means that the car was over engineered and the added weight should have been used for ballast.
purely theoretical of course, assuming infinite funds and with no safety concerns
good camera work dickhead
