GPL with 2 in car views?

I can't find more than one in car view in the demo, but I found that the roll
bar camera view in the replay to be very interseting.  I would like the full
version to include the roll bar view as a second in car view.  My replays with
the rollbar view showed how close I was to the fence and grass and would be
very helpfull in determining how close you were to other cars in a race.  I am
very impressed with the demo and especially the driving model.  This is going
to be the best sim Papyrus ever made no doubt about it.  As far as I know it's
their first with lockable brakes.  I ran it with a K6-233 and voodoo 1 card and
frame rate at 640 x 480 is smooth as glass.  With the the Gp1 car on fire and
me smoking the tires was the only way I could get the frame rate to make a
noticable drop.  Papyrus just made a sale on the full version.  The last thing
I want to say is that Papyrus did an excellent job of picking OGR to get the
demo out as I downloaded the demo at 4.3K/s average on a 44,000 bps X2
connection at 8:00 p.m. CT.  

P.s. I want that rollbar camera view as an incar view Papyrus if anybody else
feels the same let's tell'em now so they can make it available in the full
version.

Yes, I agree.  With my trusty USR 33.6, I got a solid 3.5K/s throughout
the download, started about 11:30PM EST.

Now if I could just keep the rear end of the car from going out from
under me.  <g>
