Re: Two Remaining Questions: Equal Cars & Force Cockpit?
When you saying force cockpit , do you mean cockpit camera only ?
Very surprised with that part as most of the F1 esports world only use tv pod

Yes, cockpit camera only, like all sims do; iRacing for instance.
If any esport is using a tv pod camera, that's a bit of a joke. No drivers eyes are where the tv pod is. It's a huge advantage vs cockpit.
I used to own/run a website that hosted, probably a few hundred F1 201x championships, across all parts of the world and on all formats, and the camera was always a huge point of contention for drivers because of the advantages that certain cameras provided.
- @moogleslam totally agree. I'm used to play like this with TrackIR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-YoFx-dcrc
and could never use Pod Tv like pro driver does. Infact it gives you a quite big advantage with the fov and you can see a lot around you (barking points, etc).
@CAPTAIN_1RAFAEL I see your point, but in that case even the VR would be a no sense, as majority of F1 players use the Pod Tv...Vr make sense only in cockpit mode... Cockpit cam makes far more sense with VR than on a TV/monitor. For the latter an in-game cockpit view is more challenging that real life due to the lack of stereoscopic vision for depth perception. The use of the T-cam view is partially to compensate for this, although I suspect it probably does go further into making it a bit easier to spot apexes etc.
I'd agree that a feature to ensure all drivers in a race are using cockpit cam would be a good addition for those who want this.
