Boy wouldn't you love a gearbox like this with such linear ratios.

Have been watching Audis coverage and took some readings of  speeds in gears off their telemetry shown on computer screen and came up with this very rough graph.

I imagine that all the the runners with variable ratio boxes are using similar magic boxes

Readings taken and speeds in gears at  4300 RPM calculated.

I guess I'm not accurate but I'm somewhere in the ballpark.

There is hardy any drop

Just think you could drive to Sydney in first gear and still get booked for speeding on the Hume.

 

1  gear    27.9 km/ 1000 RPM    @ 4300 RPM    120 K's 

2     "       33.3 km/ 1000 RPM    @ 4300 RPM    143 K's

3     "       39.7 km/ 1000 RPM    @ 4300 RPM    170 K's

4     "       47.7 km/ 1000 RPM    @ 4300 RPM     205 K's

5     "       57.1 km/ 1000 RPM    @ 4300 RPM     245 K's

6     "       64.5 km/ 1000 RPM    @ 4300 RPM     275 K's
