[edit] Exposed Driver
The text mentions that the car's aerodynamics were spoiled by the exposed seating position of the driver. The photograph seems to support this - it looks comical - but on closer inspection the driver is actually sitting on the edge of the car, dangling his feet on the driver's seat. I assume that when the driver was seated properly, only his head and shoulders would be visible. Can someone who has seen the car confirm this? Is there a period photograph of the car being driven as it was intended? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
There was a photography of Jenatzy actualy driving the car at http://www.mairie-acheres.fr/menu2.htm. Sadly this is a dead link. The front area of the driver seemed roughly equal to the front area of the body. Ericd (talk) 21:04, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
