Not really, just the Mg, and it was thin sheets. Not cast, there was plenty of the car left over. The fifty gallons of race fuel and ten gallons of oil on board might have helped a deal too. Even then it still would have been the same disaster if it were an electric car made of jelly beans.

Met John Fitch a few times at Lime Rock, he's a cool dude and has done a lot of work to improve safety. I think he also still gets a new Mercedes every few years and I'm sure he's not worried about the many Mg parts they still have.
