    Pretty easy if you lost or damaged under engine protection, happened to me some years ago and it made it's marks on the carter, even if it didn't do anything to the belt.

    As You said - if You loose the sumpguard. But that wasn't reported about Tänak so I don't think it was the case. It's not easy anyway.

    Doesn't have to be a big stone, I've seen a belt been split in tow just by a 3mm rock stuck in one of the tracks of a roller.

    18.2sec slower than Ogier. "I really enjoyed that stage, I had a very good rhythm in there. Quite happy."

    Thierry Neuville's engine was cutting out because a fuel pressure sensor had become disconnected. Team boss Michel Nandan said this 'stupid' problem was most likely due to the connector not being fully locked in place.

    Dani Sordo's sticking throttle was caused by a damaged floor pan. Probably the result of a stone impact. Now fixed.

    Coult it be material fatigue then? I find it a bit embarassing that a WRC team would use an old belt.
