On the over run they are just free wheeling. this is good when you have to push one of the f&^kers in and out of a workshop around corners (anyone who has pushed a car with a welded diff knows how hard they are to turn) V8 Supercars are required by the rules to run a spool only. F1 cars have never run Detroit Lockers AFAIK. Up until the early 80's F1 cars ran Salisbury type (clutch pack) or ZF type (cam & pawl) diffs. Variations of the Torsen diff were used during the turbo era. F1 cars now use electro/mechanical or hydro/mechanical diffs. Details are hard to find due to secrecy. Detroit Lockers have been regarded as inferior for many years now precisely due to the way they function. Off the gas they free wheel and as soon as you get on the gas behave like a spool and snap the rear into a slide. [Report message to a moderator]
