Gearbox Case

In Simple Terms

The gearbox case is the metal housing that protects all the gearbox and gear-change parts inside it. It's a crucial structural component that holds up the rear suspension and rear wing, transferring all those forces to the engine through special bolts.

• Encloses and protects the gearbox internals and gear-change mechanisms
• Serves as a structural component supporting the rear suspension and aerodynamic loads from the rear wing
• Transfers all forces from the rear suspension and rear wing to the Power Unit via mounting studs
• Must be able to withstand significant stress from both mechanical and aerodynamic sources
