Thanks for reposting ,I couldn't get it to load the last time . That is one awesome jump . I would how bad the suspension was after the jump

 

[mazdaspeed777]

Yah there is quite a thump sound when he lands, plus it looks like he landed at the bottom of the landing

Wonder what had to be done structurally for the frame not to bend?

 

[Foolish]

Who says it didn't bend?

Anyway, it's a rally car, so the car was fully caged, the suspension is about the toughest you'll ever see on a car, it had the best possible chance of survival, and still, we have no ideal if they'll ever drive that car again. I'd like to know what happened to the car after. I'd guess it was "last year's" car, and got jumped, then scrapped.

I saw that a few weeks ago on streetfire. the jump is so controlled, almost like a motocross bike
