How can i get the roll bar view in race in G.P.L Thanks joe
During a race, I believe your only choices of views are in-car or else "chase" (arcade) by pressing F10. James Larson

Actually, no. You can force modify your camera settings by playing with the player.ini file and the drivingView = 1 line to a different number. It will go back to the default view whenever you press F10 inside the game, still. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Change the drivingView to 12 and you will drive from the rollbar view, but if you press F10 you will be put into in-car/chase view and will have to edit the player.ini file again. -Bj?rn
you can change the driverView parameter to 12 & you will start using the roll-bar view. If you press F10 at any time though you can't get back to it until you restart GPL after changing the driverView to 12 again.

I havn't tried this but you might try changing the attributes of the player.ini file to read only after you make your changes. This would prevent GPL from changing the player.ini when you press F10 (I think) To email me remove the "u"s
