Best gearbox in F1.... best gearbox in production cars... best naturally aspirated motor... the list keeps going on and on and on.
They got the award for being “ahead” of their competitors. But this is F1, how do we know what there building.
Plus, rules are changing like made, so the gearbox for 2 years time might be against the rules.
Either way, it’s good news for once to David Richards.
But they cut nearly all sports model cars on the road :rolleyes:Quote:

Doesn;t makle a whole lottta sense to be - the best one is the one that doesn;t die
bye bye nsx? i'm guessing you havent seen the pics of the HSC? (most likely new nsx)
sure havent heard anything on it recently but i know they planned on it being a ferrari beater, i doubt they would have just canned it

Having the best gearbox doesnt' make a difference... Ferrari is still going to win again
I think the BAR box is sweet, CF for the main structure and bulkheads and bonded titanium inserts for all the bearing and suspension joints.
These things weigh less than 40kg (including the suspension), thats very good when you consider theyre pulling 18k+ and 1000hp through the internals, that sounds even better when the gears that they are using are only around 9mm wide!.
