Great to get an insight to what goes into a competitive car like this.
Thanks for sharing

What's so trick about the diff then or is it hush hush?

diff aint trick, just a spool, but its the way its put together, as with the rest of the car, big power V8, manual gearbox, live back axle with spool isnt rocket sicence, infact looks totally obsoulete when compared against some of the jap 4wd cars I race, but as a complete package it works & as Dave says there nowt revolutionary about it but everything has been cleverly worked out.
