The drive belt is probably loose and needs to be tensioned. IIRC it's the same system as on the XXX-S Touring Car, you need adjust the wheel on the "long moving metal bit" near the spur gear so it adds tension onto the belt (tighten it up a bit at a time until it stops doing it). Sometimes it will do this anyway with heavy braking on a grippy surface.
