And the right hand tether broke..

How about some fracture toughness for arms? Or plastic deformation? Tethers have not proven to be the answer.

Next time someone tells me to do something a certain way "because that's how they do it in F1 and that is the pinnacle of racing engineering !!!", I will just link them this video.

Granted the design may work excellent if you never run over rumble strips. But the car is very slow indeed when the front suspension is scattered across the infield!

Colin Chapman would have called it perfect.

Me, I'd like a little larger Factor of Ignorance.
