Do a test: When the car's stopped, do some revving. Notice how the car
moves on your screen (watch the mirrors), and the horizon stays mostly put.
Now, look at the replay of you revving (in-car view): The horizon moves,
and the car stays put.
Are you saying that your neck muscless are rock solid and your head would
not move at all if you were sitting in a racing car? ;)
There is a way to do that which involves editing the F10 view in the gpl exe
file, but I don't know the details. And you will not see the gauges in the
***pit.

I doubt that there's a way to remove it while in-car anyway, if that's
your preference.

Found a way to get rid of that head emulation, had to edit a camera file
and player.ini. I prefer being able to immediately feel which way the car
is moving, instead of feeling which way the driver's head is moving. I'd
rather drive the car than the head :)
After a few laps with the camera fixed to the chassis, I must say I like
it. For me it definitely gives a more realistic feel. The car seems to
react quicker (of course it really doesn't), and more importantly, my own
reactions are also quicker, no delay caused by the scenery moving a bit
later than the car. Bumps and camber changes are now more evident. And
I've been playing GPL for maybe 3 years already. Now I have another sense
available: balance.
