Actually, I am thinking more about a
live feed from the car during development and testing. Not a video game.
I am not a race engineer by any stretch of the imagination but I
suspect that a 3D view versus what they have now would be more
revealing and insightful when reviewing laps.
But what else might it provide?

Hi Fellippe,
I'm hooked on LeMans in a similar
way. I found 1 game that accurately portrays the tracks and cars
(circa 1998) with changeable weather and time of day. The gear shifts
are pretty authentic with appropriate speed through each gear. The
prototypes are incredibly difficult to drive (IMHO) but that may be in
part due to my low tech
controls (keyboard).

I'm not huge on video games anymore, even car simulations but I might
get one of them to learn the Nordschleife little by little...in time
for my inevitable arrival.

Some teams have been using programs to help
drivers learn new tracks for
quite some time. I recall one rookie to F1 (Michael Andretti maybe?)
who
talked on TV about using one of the popular games to learn the tracks -
he
claimed it was excellent.
As far as the engineers learning vehicle dynamics and such - some of the
older games I had gong back into the 90s allowed all kind of vehicle
suspension and aero changes which made the car drive/feel differently.
The popular Porsche game - "Need For Speed Porsche Unlimited" had
virtually
all Porsche street & racing models. The driving characteristics of
each was
amazingly realistic. Lots of HP and a rear engine is hard to control -
4wd
is very helpful as is mid-engine. When it rained or snowed the
dynamics
changed dramatically. There were tracks through Austrian villages
above and
below the snow line. The 959 was my favorite -
The quick answer is Yes.
