I got to see something really cool. I got to open up a modern F1 gearbox and see how it works -- and these things cost upwards of £250,000 each, with the F1 teams spending about £7 million a year on them.
So, of course, I wanted to see and touch the materials and understand exactly how a Formula One car changes gears - from when the driver pulls the paddle through to the gearbox selecting the next gear.
And how they work is actually pretty simple, and, incredibly clever all at the same time.
So, a few weeks ago, I was invited to TDF - a company that restores old F1 cars for private owners - and gives old F1 cars a new lease of life.
