RatBag's first title, PowerSlide, featured both external and internal views.
The internal view didn't have a***pit, per se, but it did feature a
first-person view (much like a FPS like Quake or Half-Life) with gauges
along the bottom of the screen, rather than an inventory/status bar. I'm
strictly an in-cockpit driver, and I don't like "nose camera" views in
driving sims any more than I like external views, but the internal "in-car"
view in PowerSlide is very satisfying to me. My guess is that they will use
something along these lines with Dirt Track Racing, but this is pure
speculation on my part. At any rate, it's a safe bet that you will at least
have an internal view, if not a full***pit a la SCGT or Viper Racing.
