We all know how technology in Formula One cars improves road cars - why don't they (Google, Tesla, Apple etc ) compete on the race track ? - They could take baby steps first and compete in the time trials.

It might even bring a whole new audience to the sport.

Just a thought.

I love F1, but driving on a closed track (or highways, for what matters) is many orders of magnitude easier than dealing with traffic, people, bikes, other drivers, etc. BMW created this many years ago, and the car was better than most drivers already. Advancing track days doesn't really help much on bringing cars to cities.
