If F1 2010 was released on PC only it would remove 80% of its market, and there wouldn't have been an F1 2011.

Has some interesting videos. edit - in fact google is full of them. If they managed it in 2008 for DCs last race (and well, 1994 for Blundell) what's stopping them doing it now, years later?

None of the cameras are truly 'eye level' though.

The 3rd one down, the Surfers Paradise race on the link I posted appears to be. To the left of the eye inside the visor. To be honest, with regards to the actual construction of the helmet it would be difficult to mount a camera 'inside' at eye level because it would mess with the structure of the helmet in terms of safety. If they could do like the picture above at eye level that would be good. Or possibly mount one right above the visor, central.

Cant wait for this race - that long straight looks like it'll have some action on it

This is the only helmet cam I've seen that properly gives a driver's POV, the height and positioning looks spot on - just could do with a wider FOV lens. No idea on the setup used to achieve this though.

If F1 2011 wasnt designed to work on consoles it would lose a vast amount of it's market and they wouldn't have the budget to make it look as good as it does

C.A.R.S. does look pretty sweet though

That helmet cam is incredible! gives such a good sense of speed. Imagine that on webbers helmet while he was attacking lewis. Would have been immense!
