Non-rotating circuit motor racing

Motor racing is usually done on a circuit.

As the motor-car turns the corners, so the driver (whose seat is fixed onto the motor-car) also turns.

However, racing without turning is widely known to exist, in the form of remote-control car racing, where the driver stays in the same place as the car turns.

Vehicles whose seats and controls can rotate to arbitrary angles with respect to the wheels are also widely known to exist, in the form of tracked diggers and cranes.

Vehicles which contain a component which stays pointing in the same direction relative to the world even as the vehicle turns are also widely known to exist in the form of Chinese South-Pointing Chariots, and gyrocompasses and indeed magnetic compasses.

Proposed is a motor-racing class which combines all of these features. The driver sits in a seat; the seat and the controls (and rear-view mirrors) are mounted in a sub-frame which can rotate 360° around a verticle axis relative to the vehicle. The sub-frame is mechanised or controlled so that it always points in the same direction no matter what direction the vehicle is pointing in.
