Every time I look at a replay I'm amazed at how much closer the car behind
me was than I thought it was. ("Objects in mirror are closer than they
appear"). And the perspective seems wrong too. I mean, if a car is tucked
up drafting right behind me, I shouldn't be able to see its front bumper.
If there's a way to adjust the mirror, what do you suggest for settings?
Thanks.

Do you not use the roll cage in the mirror. When it is just the big old
plain mirror, it is not easy to judge distances OR tell if a car is beside
you since it actually still apears to be behind in the plain view/
With the interior drawn in, you can see cars out the 'opera' windows and
know that they are beside instead of behind you AND it draws in the spoiler
on the deck lid and you indeed lose sight of their front bumber as they
close in on you rear end. I think pressing the 'N' key while in-car rotates
through the various levels of detail in the mirror. I run with the interior
drawn, but other items left out of the mirror vieww(smoke, grandstands, etc)
as I think there is 3 levels of detail to choose from IIRC.
Otherwise, when a car is right on your butt, he appears a car length behind.
When he is in the right side of the mirror he is BESIDE you on the right,
same goes for being in the left side of the mirror.
I could not race without the interior option that gives me a better
perception of the where the nearby cars really are, the plain wide open
mirror view does not work well for this IMHO. The only drawback is that it
is somehwhat of a FPS downer...
