There are many interesting approaches to vehicle design;
it appears the driver needs a great deal of help to get into and out of
the vehicle pictured at left.
Most vehicles have narrow tires for lower drag:
acceleration is not an issue since timing does not start until
mile 1 and many do not reach top speed until the final timed
segment from mile 4 to 5.
The gearing is so high that most need a push to get started
(as above right)
and one often wonders if the engine will manage to run for the first
mile.
