The Porsche is a beast but it was nearly $200 off in Big W so I couldn't help myself. Assume the Caterham will be quite a lot simpler.

Looks like it has 2 forward gears and a rear one engaged purely by sliding the on each other! No synchro, no dogs, nothing... I am probably wrong as I am... well, ignorant, but I am very fascinated.
