I’m probably going to make myself look like an idiot here for asking a obvious question but i honestly don’t know what its for,my question is i sometimes see tape or a marker on the steering wheel at the top and it indicates when the wheel is in a straight line position,i mainly see it on rally type cars and some sports and hypers,whats it for ???
i guess t could indicate how much opposite lock you have during a rally race which would be usefull durng rally racing
The high visibility marker is used in a variety of contexts and motor sports. It can alert to a loss of alignment following a clip, mark the straight ahead orientation of wheels at a pit stop, be used as a helper in hitting precise steering angles, and also as a guide for quickly centering the wheel. Plus it looks cool.
