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)
In: Engineering
A lot of race cars do have the seat in the center of the car such as Formula 1 and F2, F3, F4, Indy cars, Sprint cars (dirt oval cars).
The cars in Ford v Ferrari are sports cars which are road cars built to go fast and therefore have the drivers seat in the traditional place for road cars, at Le Mans there is a rule that there has to be a passenger seat.
The cars in the film are road that are racing while other race cars with center seats are built to only race not to be on the road.
