Just got a good laugh watching the FX Network's Grand Am Special. They are just doing like a general public kind of coverage of the Roar Before the 24.
They had the communications for the Stevenson Racing team that is campaigning the new Camaro this year (previously ran GXP) They have the car on screen and then you hear "This may be a silly question, but how the hell do you see out of the back of this thing?"
I know what it is like to try to look out of the back of the jungle gym that these roll bar systems have become, but I don't think I have ever actually heard anyone ask about it. The good news is they will have a rear view camera set up in the car in time for the race.

The roll cage is only part of the problem. If you've ever sat in the new Camaro you may notice that overall visibility is limited. The rear is especially difficult, because of the the small rear windshield.
HA! That is AWESOME! LOL
