Team 190 did this in 2001 and 2003 (although the two sets of wheels in 2k3 were at 90 degree angles to each other). The only problem with it is that is is much bulkier and heavier than a SotF transmission (which 190 had in 2000, IIRC). However, as we learned this past year, it can be really nice to have a backup driveline in case you pop a chain on your primary one.

Exactly. The only reason 190 didn't use steel on steel in 2002 was that it wasn't allowed. The CVT we started in 2003 (but never used) was designed to be steel on steel.
