'Car Radar' users, (surely that's all of us by now!), here is a new collider for the car, drop it in the car folder and overwrite the original.
You will also need to delete the following folder, '*:\Users\*********\Documents\Assetto Corsa\apps\carRadar\td_scorpion_600' ,so that the App can regenerate the car shape.

Is there a benefit for everyone to use this, e.g. better collision detection?

It shows the actual collider not a generic box, and also the orientation not just proximity. And very configurable.

What I meant was, does this have benefits not just for Car Radar, but also collision detection while driving?

Probably yes, but can't be sure. 3D software and the Car Radar app saw the collider rotated 90° but if the game does also is the uncertain part.
I'll do some testing.

Weirdness.
My '*:\Users\*********\Documents\Assetto Corsa' folder doesn't contain an 'apps' folder..... :-\

Testing just added to the confusion, the collider I had and which generated the tiny image has been overwritten, so I extracted an original from the car archive but it turns out to be oriented the right way!!

This looks like the actual car we are driving, see the push\pull rocker shifter paddle and that it is the 'wrong' way around.

Those paddles would take some getting used to.

Apologies for disappearing for the later rounds.

The manager at work (I work in a Pub/hotel) left 3 weeks ago and I have replaced him on an interim basis and have been doing crazy long hours.
Was hoping to be able attend some of the later rounds but wasn't to be.

Don't you hate it when real life gets in the way of racing.
