Though it might be fun to have the camera image at the driver station, it is unlikely to provide the driver any edge during the game.

Well that's interesting, to bad about the 2-5 sec. delays. It could provide a edge if it were a curtain game, but I'm not sure how well that idea would work out now, reading your comment.
