German professional race car driver Nico Hülkenberg of the Sahara Force India Formula 1 team recently put on a special pair of eye-tracking goggles before racing around a track while being filmed by Sky Sports F1.

His fist name is NICO!!!

I wouldn't want them to track my eyes in the pits before going out. If there are attractive women nearby, my "red dot" might veer. :naughty:

I guess I wasn't all that surprised by that. If you've done any kind of road/autoX and thought about where you're looking, it's the same thing he's going. The difference is in how quickly he's able to process that information. I'll bet that a "normal" person spends WAAYY more time looking at turns, start lights, etc than an F1 driver does.
