I haven't tracked in the dark but I have during the day and I have an elise so I can see out the back, but I would think that having a wider field of vision behind you with a slight distortion in depth would be better than having a narrower field of view. You most likely would have seen the porsche's headlights earlier with multivex mirrors - the less surprises on a track the better.
AHHHHH a learning curve... pardon the pun - I agree & I would have preferred to see my demise in advance.
