Mazda 787B used a Porsche synchromesh transmission. This was done for fuel efficiency.

It seemed like he was babying it at the beginning. I thought they might have still been on the formation lap. He was shifting so early. A lot of lift and coast. He picks up the pace a little later. I was surprised to see the Corvette pull away so quickly at the beginning.

Yeah usually first laps are sort of a warm up, this car was still testing a few things for next season. If you enjoyed that Corvette you'll absolutely love the special feature I did of that racing series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPXfWdspbmtabMsi=B-bL4mm6r4PdqcxA

What kind of gearboxe is that? Didn't know there are ones where you just pull straight back & forth.

It's called sequential. It has straight cut gears that engage quickly whether it's up or downshifting

@@racecars.universe ah I had heard of sequential gearboxes but did not know how they worked. I may have to look into that.

@@HerrCobra_762 fun fact , the euro e36(no us model has SMG-sequential manual gearbox), E46/E60-E63 M3s all had SMG. SMG was miles better in the E60 M5/M6s but still prone to failure due to overheating and boiling hydraulic fluid in the SMG pump(electronically and hydraulic operated w/o clutch pedal). But it's an incredible experience and I owned an 02 & 04 E46 M3 w/SMG. You could change how aggressive or soft you wanted the SMG to shift gears and behave. Cars equipped with it are actually cheaper than the manuals but now climbing up in price due to crazy demand for the e46 m3s. Just thought to add some fun info on factory equipped sequential gearboxes.

the sound of a 4 rotor engine mixed with those straight cut gears is too much

Straight cut gears, less friction lose. High performance only kind of thing.
