Season start has been silently? moved to back to November (originally was August and Silverstone).

And the car isn't the standard Tesla S but a race-prepped P100DL.

The touch screen is apparently a bit crappy to use even the road. I guess they've put all functions actually needed during a race on the steering wheel. How could they even use that with racing gloves on.

You can use a capacitive screen with gloves if you sew a conductive patch into the finger tips - these are pretty cheap and common.

It definitely hasn't had the best reviews; you would hope that Tesla allowed them to create an app or custom screen which contains only the controls they need. I don't think big-screen Google Maps is a priority :D
