It’s basically modelled on a GT/WEC racing wheel with much fewer buttons for distraction.

Without knowing actual characteristics about the updated car handling and setup any comments on safety are idle speculation

Do those vehicles have the same steering rack as a normal street car? I was under the impression the wheels go less than 360 degrees from lock to lock so hand over hand isn't a concern.

That's right, a lot of assumptions are being made.
