Heeltoe should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I dont think it will be a hit. overrated.

the pause we have now on a conventional gearbox when the dog is jumping from one cog to the other is just enough for the revs to settle down.

no need for a new supertransmission wich need an artificial pause.

the system works on a bicycle (wich it was designed to be for), the crank and a humans feet have have only minuscule mass compared to a huge car engine wich needs to be slowed down by 1000-1500rpm.

although I must say I love the engineering, and I would have that box in my (insert name of wooden kit car you build as an 8 year old boy, usually with no engine, excuse me of my inadequate english vocabulary) anyday.

(in norway we have a designated name on that type of car, olabil, translated to ola's car. ola being typical norwegian name. it is not buggie, not cart, not trolly, not kidmobile, not johnmobile, but.......?? )
