Reverse I guess as that will be the only gear that has not broken on that Lotus.

Skip 3rd and straight to fourth so much torque and little weight not an issue.

Anyway I don't have a problem with 3rd anyway but apparently over 300bhp and continual riding the kerbs on track can take its toll !

Anyway what was this thread about?
