To your viewing problem: when a race starts, you will see your kart
from the outside view. Just before you cross the start line and you
get to control the kart, the view switches to your last chosen view.
Configure one of your buttons to select the cam view, and choose your
preferred view as soon as the race starts.
This game is really good, I spent a couple of hours with it yesterday.
Liked it from the beginning, and after a couple of hours the game only
grew on me.

Thanks for the reply. It does appear that the deadzone is the problem
and I can see a gp.cfg files in the main directory but don't know how to
open it. Is this the one and how do I open it?

Frame rate is great on my P2 233 192mb TNT2/32mb with 800x600 with
medium detail and 12 cars.
If I had the money I would buy it without hesitation and wait to
upgrade my PC before GP3.
