But, you have to admit it will help you get familiar with a track layout.

Hamilton admitted he used a Playstation last year to get familiar with track he had no seen yet.

There is a guy on a local forum I frequent that has family near the ring and he went over last summer and rove it and said the Playstation was huge in helping him be familiar with the track layout. He did admit the elevation change changes the dynamic, regardless it still gave him a "look" at the track.

I can imagine it helps smart drivers, its the ego drivers that can take something good and make it into something bad.
