V8ST STATEMENT:

Due to exceptionally high mechanical load's our cars experienced at Pukekohe, with all competitors straight lining the chicane at turn two, several of our teams found cracks appearing in the weld connection of the double shear, lower arm, rear suspension bracket

We have subsequently issued a technical bulletin to all of our teams, plus a Chrome Moly, three piece cusseting kit, so that teams may strengthen the attachment of that bracket to the rear chassis rail.
