    Over 700HP

    In the palm of your hand, a multi-plate F1 clutch handling 740HP if it's in last year's Renault, who knows how much power today ?

    Yes, lit with a single flash in a softbox, on-camera.

    I'll bet the friction plates are composite ceramic..to handle the extreme heat.Wow,that's small package.

    Where on earth was this taken. I thought they guarded these with all sorts of devices.

    It is amazing how much power those F1's have, and the power to weight ratio is insane!

    I assume it's last year's clutch, at least.

    Now I think they're using dual-clutch seamless shift gearboxes, 1/100 second not fast enough for the shift obviously !
