After many years of having the screen mounted in the cockpit instead of on the wheel

I always thought despite the wheel previously being an obstruction there was an advantage to it being fixed. When in full lock and in a tight turn, you could still see the wheel easily. Arguably you’re meant to be focused on the apex but still, upside down data is useless.

I'm not 100% sure about how it was mounted, but I wondered whether the wheel would partially cover the fixed screen previously when turned

Yeah could be much of a muchness between the two methods of mounting if it did obscure when in full lock.

Very little space to do it differently I suppose
