From the supplier: Auto racing has contributed to technological innovations of which one is the rear-view mirror whose invention was credited to ex-chauffeur and motorsports pioneer Ray Harroun who used a reflector in his Marmon racer in 1911. His intention was to lessen the bulk of riders whose duty was to warn racers of an approaching competitor which was noticed by industrial powerhouses. Motorsports continued to be a testing ground for the application of technology to automobiles, in improving engines, composite materials construction, suspension research and in the improvement of microprocessors. One motivation for the application of technology on auto racing is the good return on investment.
