Yeah I've seen it too - the tablets hooked to cams where you can review your run right away. With graphs and whatnot. I dunno. I don't think that's cheating, but, a good driver should be able to think back and know where they made mistakes. It should be a level playing field. Either no one has data acq, or everyone does. You can drop over $800 on a good new tablet and video setup. Also, I"m sort of a luddite and think the over-computerification of F1 for example has taken all the interest out of it. I want the DRIVER to be in control, not the traction control or the pit lane guys telling him he's got to do this or that. I have absolutely zero interest in watching "self driving cars racing".
