Does anyone know of anyway to run GPL using a Bumper Cam View. In most sims I seem to get a better sense of speed and turn radiuses from this view. The view would mean missing out on the virtual***pits movement, but does it really help your driving or is it just pleasing to the eyes. I spend way to much time in the grass to be able to answer that question myself :)

Look under [personal information]. There you'll find a line saying "driving view = 4". Change that number. I'm not sure what the number of the view that you want is, but I know that "12" gives you the roll-bar view. Experiment until you get the desired view. Alanb

I went through the 20 different views looking for an in-cockpit view with speed, gear,etc. There isn't one. The closest thing is 12 which gives you a roll bar cage view. Don't get to e***d though... if you press f10, it sets it back to the defaults. Why can't they put some of that black space to use like in the replays.... position, lap times, best lap, speed, rpm, etc. It wouldn't be that hard. Anyway... here are the views I found 1. normal in-cockpit 4. chase 5. chase high 6. chase 7. pit cam 8. pit cam 9. front bumper 10. gearbox 11. right side***pit 13. left front suspension 14. right rear suspension 15. pit cam 16. TV 17. TV 18. TV2 19. Static TV Mike
