Radio station I listen to seemed to be seriously reporting that Bathurst fans would be able to speed up their favourite drivers by affecting their engine through a smartphone app in a drive to increase social interaction.

Strangely enough, I seem to recall this is actually available in Formula E. (So, like all good AFs, there is a grain of truth buried somewhere)
