Is there a way to race with the roll bar view in GPL?
Why not? Let's not start that arcade vs in-car view thread from NROS' newgroup. As to the question at hand, I don't remember what it was, but awhile back someone noted the tip on how to do it...its in one of the ini files I do believe.

Because I would like to race with that view, it's like the "over the nose view" in MGPRS2. I have a hard time with the in***pit view, and I don't like the outside view. > WHY?? >> Is there a way to race with the roll bar view in GPL?

>Is there a way to race with the roll bar view in GPL? Yes, there is. In your PLAYER.INI, found in your player folder, change drivingView = x to drivingView=12. Please note that there is no mirror available in this view. If you tend to race online, this will not be appreciated by your fellow drivers. Also note that if you hit F10, this setting is lost and you've to alter PLAYER.INI again. Remco
I take that back.. If I had a view of the roll bars in action I'd have a better understanding of them. Probably what would help most would be to be able to see the other two corners of the suspension as well rather then just the LF and RR. Mike Barlow

Wrong bars. He's talking about the Roll Over bar above the drivers head. You seam to be talking about the Anti Roll Bar's. And yes, you can use the Roll Bar view in a race. Just open your player.ini file in your players/namehere folder and edit the drivingView bit in the player information part. Change it from 1 to 12 and presto. Although, you won't have any mirrors or access to the pit board. Clive Nicholson.
