Not during the actual race, though you can have the opportunity to 'drive' the car as part of your virtual GP experience.

No, this is about holding GPs at one venue with multiple track configurations, dispensing with real spectators and selling a multi-package, virtual racing experience instead, e.g. starting with a basic virtual grandstand and then adding on other virtual experiences, like starting grid walkabouts; rather like Sky and their various packages and because it is virtual the permutations are 'virtualy' endless.

Ya, but that's because other big costs are underwritten by govt. If Bernie hosted a race himself without any other financial support he'd be paying those costs so there would be no profits apart from the regular media rights money which he gets from whatever circuit the race is at. not that he couldn't afford to do that but rich buggers don't like spending their own money on stuff, they'd much rather spend other people's money
