The GT40 Ken Miles drove at Le Mans was right side steering. True but from what I've read, it was more a design pt. for European tracks which ran mostly clockwise, keeping the driver on the "inside" of the car during most of the cornering. “Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.” ― G.
