Since going full NGTC, there have been additional/spare/replacements built for the A-Class, Civic, Cruze, A4, Avensis, and 125.

Yep, pretty much a car a year gets written off, it's luck of the draw as to who it is, so no, no team is ever going to build a full spare going into the season, but in the back of their minds it should be something to budget for.
With Plato's car I can't understand what the issue could be unless it's got a slight twist in it or if the frame itself has weakened and 'gone soft' so to speak. Plenty of people are quick to call NGTC cars silhouettes saying that the roll cage and front and rear sub-frames do all the chassis work, so assuming that they fitted a new front sub-frame and the cage is still in one piece then short of a weak or twisted shell, do we think it's just a placebo effect for Jason or is Ash just better at coping with the numb front end.
Shame they lack a testing budget as the easy option would have been to have Jason drive Ash's car back to back and visa versa.
