The Speedo & Revcounter should be in front of the driver, and visible through the steering wheel. Simple as that.
With supplementaries in a row in the centre, including oil pressure and voltmeter - in the name of tradition.
I agree Dave, but I would go further and say that the dash top in front front of the driver needs to be redesigned to go up in a slight hump, or even a double hump such as the new Aero 8.
This style I would like!!!
