1.01K 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)

Every racing organization has different rules. Some race cars DO have the driver in the middle, but there are also a lot of organizations that use regular road cars converted to race cars. It wouldn’t make sense to redesign the entire steering system to put the driver seat in the middle of a regular car so they just keep it where it is.
