RHD vs. LHD

I just wondered if there was any reason why the lotus cars, elise, 211 etc where all LHD when in england where they are made they are RHD.

Is this going to be changed in the future?

 

I'm not sure but it seems logical to me that they are all LHD because on almost every other countries, except England, they are this way and don't forget that these cars are made in Italy bu Kunos.

 

Surely the most logical way would be to match the handedness with the country it was made in.

Well to me it is.

 

The only reason to make a car RHD is if it only produced as a RHD. Most people use LHD.

 

i much prefer RHD especially in a BRITISH made car

 

Why not allow both to make everyone drive what he's used to ? like LFS.
no need for much graphics work to do this.

 

I would like right hand drive option too for all cars it's available on in real life. About 35% of the world drives right hand drive, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Ireland and about 70 more, it's not just England.

 

I dont mind driving LHD, id just like to see cars using the correct handedness from country of manufacture.

 

ChrisR, are you saying that LHD Lotus are incorrect?
I always though that LHD or RHD had to do with country of registry and not country of producing. As I said in Italy cars are LHD and on rest of Europe, North America and most of other countries cars are also LHD. You must understand that RHD is the exception, not the rule.

 

Lotus and mclaren are both made in england.. They should be rhd

 

I don't think it matters where the car was made, if it's available in RHD in real life, I don't think it's asking too much for there to be a RHD option in AC. It doesn't matter if more countries use LHD, it doesn't change the fact that RHD is used in real life by hundreds of millions of people. The thing you have to understand is, the only rule here is most cars are made in RHD and LHD only cars are the exception.

 

I prefer RHD because it's what I'm used to in real life but also because most circuits are clockwise orientated and from cockpit view I find it easier to nail apexes when they're closer to me relatively speaking.

 

Same for me, only prefer LHD, When I see RHD cockpit I want to vomit, and shifting gears with left hand (I am righty) feels uncomfortable

 

Dont bother me to be honest I live in england so i'm used to a RHD, all i do is keep my H pattern on the left as per what i'm used too. If i wanted to i guess i could just move my H pattern to the right for immersion sake. but its not going to make me any faster left or right so there is no beef with as to which side i prefer to sit

 

They're Euro-spec. Whilst they're produced in RHD and LHD, if they choose to model a LHD car then that's the way it should be. Imo it's better for the cars to be fixed, be it to RHD or LHD, rather than have people switching all the time (and the physics question of how much advantage that could provide).

 

I guess some of the most interesting Japanese cars won't be on this game if RHD isn't an option to have

 

If it's produced in England it should be RHD...that's plain nonsense. Should their speedometers also be in mph only?? Most people drive LHD so it should be like that. Only if a car is produced only in RHD it should be like that.

 

seems i hit a nerve...

 

Seems more like you don't have a clue.

 

Damn i would love to have an option for mph that would be awesome haha
