@Trendyon As far as I know, even though Greco and the guys have a good relationship with a couple of teams, Codemasters don't ever get official numbers and data from them beyond what the specialized press has access to.
If they did, that data would be opaque instead of being readily available to anyone with the game on PC and the Windows Notepad app. This sort of nondisclosable confidential data would most definitely be protected or encrypted somehow - like other titles do with the data entrusted to them by manufacturers and racing teams.
And even if they come upon real, trusty data, there's still the huge task of matching it to the game engine. Greco does a stellar job, but the franchise is far from putting out such a realistic physics simulation that simply refreshing a table with real engine power, downforce points etc would result in high fidelity gameplay.
Drag, temps, load sensitivity, variable coefficients of friction...
Mind you, I'm confident F1 23 will be a better game. But I strongly suggest not getting ahead of yourself and reading too much into it. This is a marketing stunt. New 3D model with new livery to hype the community over the Alfa Romeo 2023 debut, and that's it.
This is good, and I'm hopeful for more neat DLC like this one or the ones I mentioned above, but it does not address any of the real issues haunting the franchise.

@mariohomohThanks for the lengthy response. But it would have been nifty if they could add to the performance of the in-game C43 after pre testing wrapped up or after each race until the game is released. In any event, having a new car in time trial mode until the new game is released allows gamers to keep up with competitive time trial mode and real time qualifying events - a nice bridge to F1 2023 imo!
