CVT is much older than that, IIRC it was developed by Van Doorn's Aanhangwagen Fabriek in the 60s or 70s. ps: |

I'm not sure any team would want to "develop" such an untested method during a championship season. One of the teams (I think it was Williams, cos I seem to remember Coulthard testing it) was developing CVT some years ago. Just as they got it working, it was banned by the FIA (I think). Andy McLaren, protested by Ferrari. Or the other way around. Again, why the protest? Because Ferrari are unsporting cunts. ;-p Lucky the smiley Frank. |
I know you're worth more than that.

Why was it banned? |
can have. The CVT has essentially an infinite number of forward gears,
easily exceeding the seven written into the regulations.

No, the FIA banned it as it would have given Williams a huge leap on
the others. Just like the fan car was banned and just like the active
suspension was banned.
You are allowed to innovate, as long as your innovation is inline with
the others' innovations. Cool huh ?

Hi, In article <Xns96A6DB606F41Cpopematthewatbigpond (AT) 61 (DOT) 9.191.5>, Matthew Pope<popematthew (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> wrote: You snipped the important part of my reply...

Then i agree. In fact the Williams one was developed in cooperation with DAF, but the thread is not about the first one in existence, just the first one in F1. |

I'm guessing here, but I think you may have display of headers turned off... |
I'm honest 'From:' is one of them <g>).
Is this what they call 'thread drift'?
