Authentics, the official memorabilia platform of Formula 1, is opening bidding for a gearbox carrier paired with a race-spec rear wing, both mounted on a custom display stand. The gearbox carrier still bears its original FIA seal, and the wing maintains its functional DRS flap. The item, which forms part of the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team 2024 Race-Used Gearbox Carrier & Rear Wing Assembly, is currently up for auction on F1 Authentics' platform. The gearbox carrier is described as race-used, while the rear wing is a race-specification part.

Bidding for the item starts at $2,356 and the auction is scheduled to open at the end of this week.",
