I would like to know if there would be any advantage on this in order to reduce laptimes, cornering...?
note: Our track is pretty big and fast, 1st gear is used rarely on our cars.
My guess is that if you’re not having catastrophic issues with the IGT1 standard spur gearing and transmission with your engine you might be better off with it over a buggy diff.
Your ability to start off in first gear, no matter how short shifted it is, would be better than starting in second gear only.
What track do you race on?
Got any pictures?
