I know this isn't exactly what you want, but have you checked out that
NascarTV software. I forget what its exactly called, but someone here
will no. It lets you broadcast the race, in basically real time, to
anyone who has the client software installed on their machine.
Its pretty primitive, in that it only shows the track like a game
board, with little chits running around it showing where the drivers
are . But this is about the closest thing I can think of to what
you're wanting to do.
Sorry I can't think of the name of this piece of software, but google
or another post requesting it should get ya there.
