No chance you can rebuild it? Just too much gone from the fiberglass?
We did have suspension issues last year. Both the front aftermarket steering knuckles broke last year (DS on Saturday & PS on Sunday). We managed to rebuild both and finished the race last year. (Ironically, the company who made those aftermarket parts closed their doors.)
Unfortunately, the rear suspension bump-steer which broke this time was also made by that same company.
It appears that a heim joint on the PS rear lower control arm broke off during the race. This resulted in the rear suspension collapse, which put the car into a hard spin of the track.
