Default Corvette Racings "tracking" computer???

I cant help but notice that the great Corvette Racing has a bad *** fighter jet style tracking computer that show and makes the driver aware of vehicles on his six and on his sides. Does anyone know anything about this system or have any links to any information about their bad *** tracking system????

Thanks guys

They have had systems similar to these on big trucks for years...ten years ago or more my brother had what was called vorad or something like that....it would beep and light up if someone was beside you, and even slow the cruise speed down on the truck to match a vehicle that you were catching up with in your lane.
