Cheats...
At the Spa 24 Hours in the mid eighties a very well known team who were favorites to win were having problems with the diff in their leading car. The rules said you could repair but not replace he diff.
So the car comes in to the pits & the mechanics rip the hot diff out of the car & make a big drama about how hot it is & throw it into a large pale of water to cool it down. After a while they retreive the diff and work on it for a while before re-fitting it to the car.
You might have guessed, the pale of water already contained a nice healthy spare diff.
