I thought Magalhaes was most of the problems with that one?

For Andreucci it's possible that they check/renew some parts (like gearbox, diffs, driveshafts) between every event. The average length of the rallies he drove this year (except Sardinia) is 144km SS, almost 50km shorter than the average Belgian event, and less than half of the SS km's run in the shortest WRC event. Great maintenance in combination with shorter events could explain a lot. The difference in teams is huge, the price differences must mean something. There are several examples of same cars in different teams, where in one team a car always retired while some other (usually more expensive team) never has any issues with it. Someone mentioned Kronos here. The reason why Kronos isn't doing anything in rallying anymore because it's impossible to compete with the price of some teams and still deliver decent quality, as Van Dalen said in an interview some time ago.

Magalhăes used same car all the season. Many problems. Bernardo Sousa had many problems with ACSM team car but Nil Solans with the same car did it better.

In that Le Matin's article, Philippe Rauch (RIV director) is quite harsh to Sainteloc: it wasn't a mistake but a deliberate move to ease up Lukyanuk pressure over Breen.
It also mentions that Sainteloc firstly alleged a stamping error from FIA delegates, but after a close check to all used tyres they've admitted the use of that two extra tyres, considering it as a mistake due to rush servicing stress.Rally addict since 1982
