I read on another forum it was banned because the spectators like to hear 'shifting',the drone of a race engine constantly on the perfect powerband doesnt sound right to them,,so here we are,,spectators make the most important call as they pay to see it..Even if a CVT kicks ass in sooo many forms of racing,it just dont sound right!!!!!!  |

I dont think the "CVT" they used is anything like the ones on our scooters.
Same principle...but MUCH better execution

I must admit to loving the sound of an engine going through it's gears. |

There are CVT's in production cars but I have not heard about them in years. They were metal belt transmissions if I remember right. Most designs have not made it into production. They ban all kinds of things in racing. Remember the turbo Indy 500 cars? Remember the Audi Quatro? I have got to admit I like the sound of the normally aspirated race cars, piston engine planes, and the old 70's(?) F1 cars. The pistons beat my heart. BTW, Scoot CVT's SUCK!  |

My dodge caliper uses CVT  it sort of sounds like my scoot. It is steel belt I feel like a scoot with a gear reduction to the vari instead of being connected to the crank could successfully use a wet CVT with a steel belt. This exact one |

I don't think they banned the CVT from F1 because of the noise, but I do think they have now banned overtaking!

My new Subaru Imprezza has a cvt. It's awesome. A lot of production cars have them now. I think Nissan, Mitsubishi, and some of the domestics have them in cars. They're reliable now and more efficient than a geared tranny.
