I've never seen anything like it! amazing shot from inside franchitti's
helmet as he blasts around the oval. Gives an incredible insight into a
drivers eye view :o)

Yes I did, and I'm looking forward to more unique views from the gang at
SPEED.

My only complaint was the announcer commenting on how steady his head
seemed to be. Well, duh! That's where the camera is! Everything else will
appear to be shaking around...as it obviously was. Where do they get those
guys? Oh, yeah. They're the ones that couldn't hack it as stick-n-ball
commentators.
Back OT: great shots.

   The first time they used it was at Long Beach with Paul Tracey.  His view
was much bouncier.  You pretty much have to figure an oval car is gonna have
the helmet wedged in so there can be NO movement, but a roadcourse***pit
probably has a little more room so the driver can scan more of the road.

If they can just get the contrast corrected so you can see the track
better, and less of Dario's schnozz. Good thing it wasn't in Kanaan's car!
The camera they had on Tracy at LB kinda reminded me of the pan view in
CART Precision Racing. I could never get used to that view in the game tho.
Hopefully it will be good weather at Laguna Seca in June so we can see what
that cam looks like thru the 'screw...

Warlock!
