I don’t understand whole this. So, they just strengthend the propshaft and forgot to improve gearbox? And how it can be, that the gearbox suddenly became so weak? Didn’t they recognised the problem before? They use this gearbox already third year.

And why would you say this before the rally is over?
Seems like mind games to me.

As a way to make Evans and Katsuta "relax" and be overtaken by Neuville? I could almost believe it, if I didn't have zero faith in Hyundai's reliability. And the gearbox just exploding sounds something that could happen to a i20 Rally1.
I think Neuville should be happy if he gets to the end without super rally, podium would be amazing.

They explained that they couldn't strengthen the propshaft and gearbox at the same time because of the jokeres. The gearbox didn't become weaker but is now relatively the weakest link because the propshaft is stronger. Think of it like this, if you take a stock car with stock drivetrain and keep adding power the gearbox/half shafts/propshaft/diff will at one point be overwhelmed and break, if you strengthen the weakest link at one point the next weakest component will fail unless every component is changed for a strong enough one.

Before stopping they drove slower for some time and discussed what to do, the closing itself took about 30 seconds.

Evans had puncture and changed it, Munster with bent rear wheel..

Neuville will be a champion half way into the championship if it continues this way
