Transmission Technologies in Motorsport
Every bit of delay in gear shifting can cost racers the victory. Therefore, engineers involved in the process of the transmission development for racing cars frequently come up with unusual solutions to gain competitive advantage. In this section, you will learn about Racing Transmissions, Performance Torque Converters, Lubricants, Transmission Parts, and other peculiar technologies implemented in racing cars.
In
recent years it has become commonplace to say that manual transmissions have
become obsolete and can no longer compete with more technically advanced types
of transmissions both in performance capacity and in cost-efficiency. But recently the racing world has become a
witness to a surprising speed record. We are talking about a tuned Toyota Supra
equipped with a six-speed manual transmission that has set a drag strip record
for manual cars.
