wow crunch those gears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[V8Dom]

and the track???... the amount of dirt off the racing line... I know its miles long but do they only rely on cars racing to clean the track???

one day ill get there and make a fool of myself... Ring taxi I recon!!

[spatz]

sounds like a pdk gearbox

[UltimaCH]

Sounds to me like a racing (dog) box. Shift light on the dash. Up changes nice and smooth, but something sounds wrong on the down shifts that it crashes so much (adjustments needed?)

[V8Dom]

or it could just be like the system we were talking about a few weeks ago where you still have to use the clutch and he just isnt bothering....

He ll find out when the gears are all sitting in the middle of the road and he's looking all confused!!!!!!!!!!

The dirt is just where they are building the sound supression walls through
Adenau.

That's right, undeniable Straight Cut gear whine. Crunches down are pretty standard I thought..

Sounds normal, but I have never driven a straight-cut gear box. Seems it would be less painful if down shifts were accompanied with a throttle blip. It doesn't sound like there's any heel-toe activity. Maybe heel-toe is not appropriate with straight-cut?

More ring footage, he ran the actual race last weekend, and placed!

Yes, it is a Dog Box, just bang it up through the gears, no clutch needed and you can bang it down also without clutch if you like, we used to use them in Mini Se7ens and Miglias when I used to race

I do enjoy watching a lap of the ring, have not been there for a couple of years. There has been a bit off work done out there in the last year or so. will have to go back soon

This is the best "0n board" lap I have seen ever. How to handle a straight cut box...
