Re: GT40 Crash Test 1967

Thanks for the explanation.
I think Bill's concern was rupturing the fuel tanks with
a suspension member. No one is suggesting adding crumple zones to reduce impact energy to the occupants....just
not practical.

If the method of fuel system failure is the tank and cap design, we should all look at retrofitting our cars to dramatically improve our chances. And as Jim says...add
a fire system....just might save your life.
