Re: WRC Testing
Braking things in tests is nothing extraordinary. It's wise to use stuff for as long as it brakes in testing to see the real durability. What I mean is that while in the real event they can change gearbox let's say mid-rally to be sure, in test they can do 4-5x more millage till it falls apart just to see how much it can do.
