With today's 1080i/p displays capable of pushing more pixels than the average computer monitor, why couldn't they spare some extra screen real-estate to display the dashboard? They could, theoretically, remove all the artificial HUD elements except the lap-timer and position indicator - and heck, they probably could do away with those as well, and stick them into an in-dashboard computer (like the real-world GPS displays that you can mount).
