Not many people realise that Audi actually intended to go closed roof with their very first car ...but ended up having to do an open car, and called upon us at RTN to do a closed car ...now they have one of their own!
Welcome to the world of heated plastic screens and wipers, and doors! It's a different game altogether doing the coupes. The rules are so different now though, narrow cockpits and tiny doors allowed.
The application of LED headlights shows how far things have come, they even have them on the A8 road cars now.Martin Cutting

RHD is probably because most races are clockwise so that the drivers weight is on the inside.Marcel

Fin at the back is required by rules.
I am trying to find a magazine or website that would buy a story and photos of a roadtrip from Finland to le Mans and back. If I find one, I'll be there. I could arrange "live" event updates, if wanted.Everything less than 2 bar is considered to be naturally aspiratedComment

Personally I'd always want to put any offset mass to the inside, but that might just be empirical reasoning. Any oval type car benefits from offset, so it's not unreasonable to say that the predominant direction of turn would be the way to "lean". I have to say I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot more RHD cars on right handed circuits than LHD, the only exception being touring type cars which I concluded was more down manufacturer choice.
Indeed the fin is in the rules now, supposedly another attempt to stop the cars flying by getting sideways. There are always conflicting views on how to stop that - the bevelled underbody was meant to provide something more like an inverted wing profile in a sideways aspect, but there have been others suggesting that a "splitter" edge and an undercut scallop in the bodywork immediately above it would provide a superior solution. But rules are rules.Martin Cutting
