if you do a search on the net for the track it will tel you all about it,it starts off as a proper race track,but then years ago they extended it to go round the villages that were there,the public can use it everyday by just turning up paying to go round and driving it,I think it has something like 30 odd corners and bends on it! the basic play for the track is to get round in less than 10 mins! yes i said 10 mins,thats how long the track is

yes that is the transmission,its what we call a 'straight cut box' designed for racing as you lose less power through this type of transmission than through a normal gearbox! apparently he is one of Germanys top drivers and that BMW is pushing approx 750bhp at the flywheel

ninja you know about this stuff?
How much do those type of transmissions cost? are they the price of normal transmissions but just made for only racing? or are they a lot more expensive?
