Looks like the rear strut to hun carrier clamps failed - I wonder if someone forgot to tighten them up? Guy

Heard of other newly cast ones doing also.

Original Group 4 rear uprights were stronger than production Stradale weren't they?

What were the group 4 ones made from?
Everything has a life, especially on a competition car, and some of these parts are very very old now.

Does not look up to the job, that jump was a small one. Suspect the design and material is not up to it. If its an LM casting it should be heat treated. Cast uprights will be alot weaker than Billet and suffer from fatigue which is why road car cast uprights are huge with ribs and thick sections. The suspension should easily do that jump I would say.
upright in the fore ground has no support for the axle nose and looks like a nice snap here line, rear on has some degree of tapered support.
