Similar actually yes, it's basically the same unit with a much higher ratio diff, 4 spider gears and a reinforced casing.

Maybe type used in later v8 esprit,have 2/3 citroen boxes from the old Esprit needing rebuilds and quite sort after as they fail.

It's not quite the same but it's similar. The diff is huge compared to the car ones, it's 5.85 ratio

Well unfortunately the mod to the baffles did nothing, no effect at all.

So, we only got a couple laps in before it was sit down and watch everyone else play for the day:
