new Transmission technology


Motorsport gearbox manufacturers are nothing if not honest – something that forcefully came home to me while researching up-coming transmission trends. To a man, all the top people from some of the world’s best-known race and rally transmission companies we approached sang with surprising harmony from the same hymn sheet. Summarized by one, the world has just witnessed possibly the least exciting chapter of the story of motorsport transmissions over the past quarter century because economic reality has cut in. In most series at least, ultimate technology is no longer what it’s about. But new F1 regulations in 2009 – which could percolate down to other formulae and road cars – should see a return of technological glamor that graced transmission design and development in the 1970s and early ‘80s, even if a return to the days of build-it-regardless-of-cost is not on the cards.
