This was a good learning opportunity for us. What looked like an easy fix turned out to be more challenging. After attempts to raise the FJ high enough to put the spare on failed because we couldn't get enough height we moved it over to the sand, raised it, and dug under the wheel to make room for the spare.

Thanks for the support from all the team

what caused this kind of failure?

Guessing it was a shape stone as we were all travelling at a relatively good speed on this track and no one else had a rupture. If I recall, and Jerome can confirm, he said he thought it was the track that was making the noise. By the time I saw the tire and radioed to him there was much damage already like this.
