@monstercameron This looks pretty much like a SAE Formula Student car. The CVT stands for continuous variable transmission. The moving "disks" on the belt drive you see on the left are what operate the CVT. Because they are conic in shape, a variation of distance between the two cones also varies the radius on which the belt turns (this needs to be compensated by the other pair of cones to not stretch/loosen the belt) and therefore changes the ratio. Voilà, that's a CVT.
@bonhampala one year to comment!! o have already found out cvts!

what is that?

seems like a lot of slipping and belt stretching.
