I was at Doune Hillclimb (in Scotland) a couple of years a go and was talking to a competitor when drive shafts came in to the conversation. He said that Formula One Drive shafts twist around 1080 degrees (three complete rotations!) when doing a proper standing start. He said that because of this they are limited to doing around three standing starts per drive shaft.
Does anyone know if there is any degree of truth behind it, as three complete rotations seems incredibly much for it to spring back from.
Thanks
