1.00K views

So I just watch Ford v Ferrari (was really cool, loved Bale in it) and I was wondering why is the wheel not in the middle, like wouldn’t be better for the balance or the visibility ? (Sorry if I made some typos I’m french)

People have already said that it’s because it must adhere to regulations. But why do those regulations exist?

Because originally, and to some extent in the 60s and today, the manufacturers of those racing cars wanted their race car to look as much like the road version as possible so people would buy them. “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday”.
