P1173 SPORTSCAR GEARBOX
Xtrac’s P1173 transmission is suitable for use in GT sportscars competing in series such as the GTLM category of the TUDOR United Sports Car Championship.
Originally designed for use in endurance events such as the Dakar Rally, the P1173 has all the qualities required for endurance sportscar racing and can be configured in either a straight through, rear wheel drive transmission or as a 4WD gearbox with a centre differential and drop gear.
