Well, a team can buy any mirror they damn well please and mount it at
any angle the driver the likes, so long as they can pass tech with it.
(Which for the mirror pretty much amounts to having one that is
securely mounted to the hoop and doesn't unduly obstruct forward
vision...) So in that sense, it's adjustable (by the team prior to
attending a race) to suit the driver's preference...

Different drivers have different mirror prefs in WCup. Some use the
multi-panel (Wink-type) mirror, some have a convex single panel
mirror, some have extra little mirror on the driver's side A-pillar...
The vast majority get by with a Wink-type 3 panel mirror (like N2
has).

Jim,

Just out of curiosity, can you tell us what the mirror lines would
look like for the default mirrors?

Thanks,

Brad
