Where did you see that the pacers weren't necessary? I looked at the linked article and 4-5 others and that wasn't mentioned.
Pacers are more effective mentally than physically. There's some benefit from drafting, but at running speed it's not a huge benefit. Mentally, the pacers keep a runner from getting distracted and falling behind the pace.
The car projecting a line where the goal would be is a nice touch.
