For Canada, it would reveal the suspension travel related
to flattening one of the hedgehogs that was crossing the track from time to
time this year...
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

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.
