Anyone noticed that the driver sits on the right side of the cockpit? Usually English(I guess Japanese do it too) manufacturers place the driver seat on the right side, but Peugeot is a French company and French usually don't drive on the left side of the road...

From what one says, it would be easier to control the car in some angles of the circuit
But it doesn't seem to be Audi's mind apparently

I don't think Audi minds because how many times have they've crushed the competition in the past 7 years with the R8 and now R10 Originally Posted by Tom206wrc

About the driver-on-the-right-side thing: at Le Mans, pit boxes are on the right side and as the 908 is a closed car, they can't just jump over the car so I guess this way driver changes are faster.
