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
Because a lot of racing cars are designed that way by regulation, making them comply to legal road car standards.
It’s also easier for the driver to get in and out depending on the cars configuration.
Single seat open wheel cars like Formula 1 or Indycar have the wheel in the center.
Also the McLaren F1 that won LeMans also had a center driving position.
