Now here's a new sponsorship possibility. Ballistics grade material testing.
Evidently an Australia based company decided (how nice of them!!) that a rally car's underside might make a good test bed for some of its synthetic material. The material in question looks to have been shaped nicely to adhere and conform to the Ford Escort's underside. The resin material is reported to have high fracture toughness and kinetic energy absorption properties. Given its likely light weight it makes a great material for undercar protection. Now we just have to get some forward thinking companies in the States to follow their example.
Seperate article on the testing of this composite...
