The main problem I find with TOCA is the lack of rear view mirror.
I have a TM GP1 with 2 buttons on the dash, one of which I use to
display the rear cam view. However it's a bit tricky to press while
accelerating. How do other people set up the rear cam view ?

It doesn't require to search on the keyboard (It's the biggest and easiest
key to reach). I found it easier to press spacebar than to reach the
2buttons on the right of the wheel.
Well, this is how I prefer, but in normal cases just assign it to one of the
2 right buttons on your wheel (the other one for the horn !!!).

Hmmm, does this remark imply that the horn actually does anything other
than amuse children? I never touch it.
While I'm on the subject... which is the most competitive car and which
is the most competetive view to use? 'Menu' is practically impossible to
beat in championship mode and I'm getting really frustrated. I really
hate racing games when I don't even have a chance at bringin home the
'cup'.

I find the headcam is best, particularly with wheel controller.
I drive the Honda, which seems to be pretty quick.

I had a go at trying to win without any car to car contact, it's possible
but not much fun.
Also ignore the advice (in the manual) about braking in a straight line and
learn to balance the steering off against the brakes - this is particularly
useful going into the first set of tight corners at silverstone and turn 2
at brands.
If you win a cup you get the opportunity to race in a shootout where the
tracks are mirrored. This is actually quite useful for working out the best
line (identify the corners where the line is different and work on them).
I prefer the Honda as it handles well and is quite fast. The normal in car
view (not the headcam one) seems best as it is realistic but doesn't have
unnecessary distractions.

I suspect you are using the keyboard. This is ***and it is impossible to
set decent times. Plus it doesn't feel like you are really driving the
thing, which is what TOCA is all about. If I'm wrong - sorry! - but with
practice you should be able to win any race from a midfield start, even
from the back if you get lucky in the first few corners. I use "over the
bonnet" as it gives what I think is probably the best drivers eye view.
Behind the car is simply for the arcade - where's the fun of an opposite
lock slide if you don't feel like you're in the car?

I use the steering wheel button on my Thrustmaster Nascar pro wheel. It is
real convienient to just tap it for a second to see the baddies behind me.
This game is cool when in rear view as the view is full screen and not a
tiny mirror.
By the way, is there actually an influence on the other cars when you sound
the horn? I haven't noticed it yet.

But, it's fun to impress your friends when you show the game with 30+fps
with all details on my PC. The horns makes them laugh and tell "Wow it's
cooler than DaytonaUSA on the arcades"

You're mad. I like that.
What the hell are you doing looking *BEHIND* you?
I also use a GP1. What i did was drilled two holes in the other side
of the GP1 Dash (on the left of the steeering wheel) and wired in two
more SP Momentary Push Switches in parallel with the two that are
already there.
This works fine for me, as it allows you to use the switches under
accelerating or braking.
If you have any questions regarding wiring, re-post....
