GTL skid plates
Rocks, rocks, more rocks, big rock, small rock and sand that can fill a desert! Oh wait…
Most cars have an engine in the front of the vehicle, and so do our Renaults. However due to a small little thing called gravity oil tends to go down to the bottom of the engine… and if a rock happens to exist in the same space as where oil should be, you have an issue. A rather big one at that.
Therefore, a standard feature of any rally car is a skid plate, this sheet of thick aluminum or a little bit thinner sheet of steel will protect the soft underbelly of the engine and gearbox. It also has an added benefit of being great at catching any leaking oil!
