Description

Complex gearbox component from a 2008 Renault F1, originally part of the gear selection mechanism.

A highly unusual and interesting example of the exceptionally high level of engineering that goes into a modern F1 car.

Made from titanium & steel and it fitted with silky smooth ceramic bearings (the 3 silver parts all spin effortlessly around the centre shaft).

Measures approx 8″ / 20cm in length.

Supplied with an information card, this explains what the part is, which team it’s from and which drivers (Fernando Alonso & Nelson Piquet Jr.) would
have originally used it.

It has also been engraved (by the Renault F1 team) with it’s own unique part numbers & batch code, this allowed the team & engineers to keep track of what parts were fitted to the cars at any given time.

Would also give the new owner a great talking point if display on their desk or in their home.

The F1 racecar that it was originally used on can also be seen in the one of the photos.
