What is old is now new!
it was J Walter Christy's 1905 Vanderbilt Cup entry.
it was powered by a 20L (1214ci) v4 transverse engine FWD, and incorporates telescoping U-joints to allow for steering. the dual RF tires were needed to take the extremes loads encountered on CCW oval racing.
He started working on the transverse/FWD set up in 1899. so all those modernists who think this a much later invention are once again WRONG.
as some wise guy once said, "there ain't nothing new in the auto industry."

Looks like it has suicide doors that clear the brackets. Don't think there's a windshield in it either. It fits pretty good tho...

Still wouldn't be much room up against the rear tires.
I think he goes in and out the back.

Thought about that too but the camera angle doesn't show it. Maybe a tilt cab?
