2. Because of the engine and drive line angle the input shaft bearing in the gearbox is suffering fron heat related damage
3. Both the gearbox and differential oil coolers are flat mounted under the car and are getting insufficent airflow to work efficiently and both the diff and the gearbox are running close to critical temperatures
4. The dry sump tank is mounted inside the drivers compartment where is is not subject to airflow and it is raising cabin temperatures to the point where they are just about unbearable
Now I accept that these are the types of problems that can occur when any new car is developed and I hope that they are all sorted before Ruapuna and that we can see the true potential of these exciting cars on display

Dry sump tank is not inside the car.
