European cars, steering wheel on the right side

[bpapadopoulos]

Hello people,

I have been having this question since I firstly got my Focus ST.
There are some european cars (ford's, citroen's etc) which are sold in GT5 with the steering wheel on the right side, eventhough they come from a European country (steering wheel on the left side).

Ever wondered why?

So do Japanese ones. So chances are if they modelled the car while in Japan or in the UK, the modelled a RHD one.

So, lets say the Citroen C4, which is a French car, originally its steering wheel is on the left side, but, if assumed it was modelled in UK (modelled = programmed) it has its steering wheel on the right side? That sounds funny!

I used to own a Ford Focus. Imagine my surprise when I bought it in GT5 and it was right wheeled.

Thank you for your time, guys.

Modelled = photographed and turned into an in-game vehicle.

UK market Citroen C4s are all RHD, so any Citroen C4 supplied to one of their sampling sessions (where they photograph each cars from multiple angles and record the sound) in the UK by Citroen UK would have been RHD.

Oh I see.

Thank you for clearing it out for me!

Sorry to be a pedant, but Ford is a US company...

Also, welcome!

Cars from Australia, UK and Japan are all RHD. They appear as such in GT5. Japan premium cars are mostly RHD for example.
