Scania I am guessing English is not your first language :)

Are you wondering if a team can use active suspension?

Active wheel = wheel with electric motor inside?

If ignore the rule means if the rules are changed? Or do you mean if a team is operating in the 30million or less budget that they can ignore the rules?

Your question is not clear enough for me to even try to answer.

thats not "that" much for a solar car once you figure in all of the carbon fiber donations and autoclave time it adds up fast.
