It is hard to believe that a modern racing car, breaking records in one of the most entertaining race series, owes its transmission design to a unit that was installed in the road car back in the '50s. But don’t be surprised because we are talking about NASCAR, where the only allowed transmission solutions still have to look like a legendary BW ST10, firstly used by GM more than six decades ago.

Auto racing is a motorsport involving the racing of automobiles for competition. A reliable and efficient transmission is an indispensible part of each racing car and a key success factor. Carefully adjusted and balanced transmissions allow racers to get a split second advantage over other competitors during acceleration or turning of corners that may be decisive at the finish.
