Hi. IMO it's really up to you how you want to approach GPL with
respect to the view you use. I know at least one guy in the Snake
Racing League I'm in who drives in f10/chase view all the time because
he feels it gives him better peripheral vision, which it certainly
does vs. the cockpit view, and he's able to do very well with that
driving perspective. But, IMO and in the opinions of many, you give
up much of the immersion factor that way, which is one of GPL's
greatest points.
You might try Gregor Huttu's "high cockpit views", available here:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/ghuttu/
Basically these are a compromise between in-cockpit and chase/rollbar
views. You need to read the instructions there fairly closely,
though, because the ability to use the high-cockpit views is pretty
dependent on what car you're using.
But, of course, there are so many factors involved in driver "comfort"
that it may not be just the viewpoint of your driver that needs
attention. Understanding the basics of vehicle dynamics, racing lines
and tactics, etc., etc. can certainly have a big impact on your
results.
And, there are definitely many resources on the web that can speak to
these other points, such as:
"Recommended Driving Behaviour"
http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/gplac/rec_driver_beh.htm
"GPL Foolishness" (don't let the title fool you)

When racing in gpl I tend to feel more comfortable with the chase view, yet other racers I have chatted to on vroc say that I should be using the cockpit view. I desperatley want to improve my driving (i'm always last). So any suggestions will be welcomed with open (suspension) arms

What could this kind of nonsense mean? Some encrypted message?
Why send anything encrypted to a public Usenet group?
Well, it is not my business..., I guess? ... and who cares, anyhow!

Er..It wasn't encrypted on my server - here's what he actually said -:

If it shows up as garbage on some readers, then it *can't* be clear text. Your
reader might be able to de-crypt it, but some of us can't. I still say he'd
get a better response if he used more 'normal' settings...<g>

I used this view to learn tracks because of the better overview. My greed for
realism always brought me back to the cockpit-view quite soon.
You could try the drive-view(something like that) = 12, which gives you an
elevated view. No mirrors and gauges are available here.

BTW PLease don't use this vew online, few people could be pissed off because of
reckless driving.

You should find it easily. Keep in mind that it will reset to default as soon as
you touch the F10-key.
