Well.
1. All the teams including GRM who manufactured said bars have shaken their cars down now, and it seems only BJR had issues. 2. With the teams all "blowing up" about ZB parts, you'd think any issues might be well noted. 3. Let me introduce you to Occam's Razor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor |

GRM is also said to have noticed increased grounding of the front splitter over Volvo and last year’s VF. So it isn’t a surprise BJR had an issue... the bloody big lip on that splitter will likely scoop up road, dirt, other cars and all sorts of stuff. |

Either way this is a long way from the rumoured "destroyed" splitters.
Also the kind of reason you do a shakedown... |

You do shake downs to ensure all the systems work and get a head start on understanding the car not fixing someone elses design issues. |

Depending how hard the splitter hit the ground, they may have broken away from their mountings. Speedcafe & friends don’t seem to ask hard questions, the press release cut n paste the length of their investigatory skills at the moment..

Top speed difference between 250km/h and 286km/hr between QR and PI.

So the problem with the front bar is the exact reason why SMP needs to be a group shakedown (Supercars can write it up as a "greet and meet" rather than an official test weekend/test day.

Turn 1 should be able to duplicate the conditions of PI, so yes

I think the moral of the story is that under ideal circumstances Lightning would make all front bars - spilting production, at the moment at least, is a necessary evil. I'm not saying GRM bars are of a lower quality, just that differences in manufacturer will probably do more to hinder than help intial testing.

One hopes nobody goes off at turn 1 and chews up a front splitter.
