Comparing a Formula E racecar and a Nissan LEAF
Steering Wheel
Both help guide, but the racecar has a different shape and many buttons to access information.
Rear Wing
Required in Formula E for stability and speed
Side Mirror
Found on both vehicles, the Formula E side mirrors are small to improve aerodynamics.
Seat
The racecar seat is built to be lightweight and hug the driver. LEAF seats are made for comfort over long drives.
In Formula E, the rear tires are bigger and fatter to make sure as much power is used as possible.
They're 110mm wider than Nissan LEAF tires because the racecar needs more grip.
Their width provides a perfect balance of grip and road contact to zip around Formula E tracks.
Back
You can see both steering wheels are a different shape.
Nissan LEAF has a round wheel which makes it easier to control when making big turns.
Formula E has a different shape because there aren't any big turns, and you don't have to change the grip between your right and left hands.
A screen in the middle shows a lot of different information. This feature is unique to Formula E.
Back
Formula E has a big rear wing like an airplane, keeping the racecars firmly on the track using air pressure, allowing them to go faster.
Nissan LEAF's rear wing has a similar purpose, but is designed differently for lower speeds and daily driving stability.
Back
The mirrors in both cars let drivers see behind them.
Those in Nissan LEAF cars help people drive safely, but in Formula E cars mirrors are used to see what your opponents are doing and stop them overtaking you.
Back
Nissan LEAF's seats are cushioned to make them comfortable when driving.
In Formula E, the cushions are removed to make the car as light as possible so it can go faster.
The seats are made to perfectly fit the shape of each driver's body.
