Except that the question wasn't about sequentials as such, but the particular sort of sequential called "seemless shift" or "Zeroshift". This type have no gap at all in power delivery while the gear is being changed. As I understand it F1 has banned a zero time lag, but the technology is still used with a deliberate pause of the minimum allowable gap (or maybe that was the rule and its changed. Expert help anyone? Adam?) Anyway, I seem to recall that the main problem with using the truely seemless gearboxes is that the near instantaneous change in rotational speed of the output shafts, and hence wheel rims, gives the tyre walls some serious grief.
