(...) I think the reasoning is that F1 style cars don't have a actual stick shift, they have buttons on the steering wheel. Technic transmisions have only so far come in stick shift style. Not having a stick shift trans makes the model as a model (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) If you don't have any other lego at all I reecomend you buy just one or two lego (not technic) sets. Most new technic sets come with very few basic plates and bricks, which are incredibly useful. However, you may find the selection you have (...) (25 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Holy Cow! I thought it was cool that they built full size faring panels, but then, when I got in and saw that they were built out of Lego bricks themselves, I was blown away.
