Likewise, do race cars have a clutch?

Yes, F1 cars do have clutches, however they are different from the ones in most common road cars. The F1 clutch is electronically operated and the driver does not use it during normal racing. They only need it to start the car from a rest such as the beginning of the race or a pit stop.

Furthermore, do race cars have stick shift? On a manual transmission, the driver can shift gears out of order -- going from first to third -- either intentionally or by mistake. Doing it by mistake can spell disaster in a race, so race cars have Sequential Manual Transmissions (SMTs). SMTs only shift in order: from first, to second, to third, and so on.

Also to know is, do Nascar drivers wear diapers?

After hearing some of the interviews after a race, a perception is built that they constantly wear diapers. It seems childish to expose drivers in a public place but the fact is NASCAR drivers do wear diapers. NASCAR is not a short race. On larger tracks, the average speed is 150-200 mph.

What transmission is in Nascar?

In NASCAR, tradition matters, and 4-speed transmissions are traditional. Ultimately however, the 4-speeds are still around because the 5.9L V8 NASCAR engines have enough torque to allow good racing with only 4 gears.
