Actually, McLaren made a car a few years ago WITH a passenger seat! The rider sat behind and slightly above the driver. Was made so that lucky guys could get to see what the cars could do with a top F1 driver at the wheel. One of the AutoWeek writers scored a ride with Mika Hakkonnen who was the #1 at McLaren at the time. His article was quite good, with his summary being that he now understood the difference between a racing driver and a driver racing.
