As I recall, turn one at SP (old circuit) is a right, and that appears to be a right rear arm which would probably have almost no weight on it at that point. Odd!

I believe it was the right rear trailing arm.

The corner workers saw the whole thing... Suspension broke right after turn-in, I lost the ability to hold the turn and I hit another car with the left front. Unfortunately, the other car was almost stopped because of other traffic, so it was a pretty hard hit.
