After realizing that your gearbox had two reductions instead of three(that was really nice designing by the way, as expected from 971), it became clear why the belt drive had some really nice advantages over the chain. I really thought that you were running a three stage gearbox for a second, which really threw me off.

Thanks for the great explanation of your drivetrain. It was fantastic that you emphasized building to a team's strengths, and I think that is one of the most, if not the most, important lessons for all the new teams.
