TomS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Drop Gears

What are these?! They use them in ASCAR(or whatever is called now) and also in the DTM. In autosport (december 30th) it has a feature about Allan McNish driving the Audi A4 DTM and says how they have a set of internal gear ratios that cannot be changed, so the cars overall gearing is changed by swapping between sets of drop gears. Are there any advantages of this over changing internal ratios other than forcing the teams to all run similar ratios, so a cut down in testing?
