i had a question even weeks ago, but nobody is able to give the right answer (or any answer at all).
i could not find it with google nor in european drifting forums.
so here it is ..

why are the logos on the driver side of drift cars (the right side) mirrored?
and why are the stickers always mirrored on the driver side an never on the co-driver side?
the reason for mirrored logos is symmetry.. but why mirroring the driver sitckers an not on the "less important" co driver side.

can anybody help?

I have never really thought of that but maybe it has to do with just common sense. logos are meant for everyone to see and different regions have the dseat on different sides. When I get a mirrored logo I'll let you know first hand.

Drift cars can have the driving position on either side.
Neither side is more important than the other.

Ahem, I think you'll find in the country that pretty much invented drifting (and mirrored logos) the driver sits on the right. And as for why they're mirrored on that side I guess it's hard for bystanders to read your logos from the side of the road if they're both moving quickly _and_ mirrored.
