I'm really curious to see how technology disrupts (ruins?) racing in the years to come. Things like...
1. Track mode gets really, really good. You still need to drive but the car is now making some decisions for you.
2. Track mode become fully programmable. Instead of debating how to adjust your shocks for a given surface you debate how you should adjust your track mode programming for that service
3. Track mode become GPS enabled, enabling course specific programming. "I think I'll program in a little more brake-induced rotation into corner 4"
4. Track and auto pilot start to merge. You can steer and brake if you want. Or the car will do it for you.
5. The car learns from one run to the next. After each run you tell the car what should be improved... It replays the last run with those small tweaks for the next run.
6. Track mode customizations can be exchanged. You can now show up to a race and buy some help. You can also exchange the data between runs or heats, allowing people from earlier heats to provide a full dump of course data to cars in later heats. Before my first run, my car knows exactly where every cone is, how the surface friction varies, what steering angles worked for you...
