CF imho is very light & strong, but brittle material, no? Where metal would bend a bit, it shatters. And rally use over rocky roads .. there might be numerous hits over this through 2 years of rallying .. and might be from long time ago and eg. developing small crack, which ended up with failure at this race. My choice probably would be for rally use, maybe one piece, but more conventional material choice of metal. Unless whole underside is completely guarded by extra protection pans, including tunnel where shaft runs (may cause overheating issues due closed off with reduced venting exhaust in same tunnel though)
