Relocating the wiper position to the center

Sure, but like I said the wipers can be removed and replaced easily. Takes about 1 minute. On for the wet, off for the dry. Besides, I'm not advocating removing the wipers, just not parking them in the middle of the windshield.

On a race car, when racing in potentially wet conditions, particularly in an endurance event and very high speeds, parking in the center makes good sense for a tiny aero advantage... and every bit helps!

Well I really don’t want to have to pull the intermittent relay, because it will never really get to the right position. But I do like it in the middle position maybe I will take of the passenger wiper while I am at it. But remove booth here in Germany is not really a good idea first it is not legal but if I drive to a track it usually get caught in the rain somewhere along the way.

Do without the wipers and slather the windshield with RainX, though I'm not sure that the wind resistance of the wipers makes that much of a difference in the whole equation.

With just a little practice, you can park the wipers at the far side (or elsewhere) easily. Not a big deal. Heck, pull the relay and try it, then put it back if you don't like it. Easy.

You cant do that when you consider that on track you need a helmet, therefore needing the extra headroom

the placement of the wipers on the 993 is different as you know from your 84. I dont know if that makes a difference, but in my experience and with my helmet close to the roof liner on my race car the wipers are very annoying on the overall field of view.
