Racing car template

I've had a stab at a template for racing cars (see template:Racing car) to summarise the usual data. I've used the F1 templates as a starting point and applied it to the Brabham BT46 article. If anyone's got an interest in this, please have a look at the template and modify or suggest changes as appropriate. After a few people have had a go at it and we have something we're happy with we could start to use it more widely. Note that it's not meant to be specific to F1, by the way.

Seating Position

I wouldn't describe the seating position as semi- reclining it is almost upright. It was the later cars such as the Lotus 20 that started reclining the driver. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KingDoorknob (talk • contribs) 16:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. Seeing a picture of Lotus 18 with its lower side body panels off for the ventilation/cooling effect preferred by Stirling Moss on a hot race day, the driving position is very much reclined to the point being incomparable to front-engined race cars before it.

difference between space frame and tube frame?

can somebody explain that in the article?

Done. The explanation belongs in Space frame article, not here, so I made the link easier for you to find it. Yiba (talk) 03:40, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
