Now comes the time when the i20 will show its real reliability... Hope it´s one off.
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.
Yes, for sure. You´re right. Of course they do that kind of measures in one way or another to really know their cars durability.
