There are only five drivers that have competed at all rounds, so it's not exactly well supported is it.

And why you might ask!

That is a surprise. I know these cars in the USA and UK have been ragged with thousands of laps on them with no gearbox issues I've heard of so I am not sure what exactly is going on there.
