Bumper view or Chase view?

[Nightmage82]

i KNOW that this has been debated in other areas. but i haven't found any threads relating to this in the drifters forum.

personally ever since i started racing with chase hq, road blasters, and outrun, chase view was the ONLY way to drive. i've always used chase view in all the games i race. but to my surprise it seems most gran turismo-ers prefer bumper view (in car).

out of interest, do drifters prefer bumper or chase view? (admitedly chase view in gran turismo 3 sucks cause its too close and too low) but i can't imagine, and im not able to drift well using bumper view.

oh yeah and just to press the point, i drive a real car and to me chase view seems much more realistic because just like in a real car u can see/feel everything thats going on all the time. bumper view feels like ur floating in front of the car rather than being in it.

let me know what u think!

always use chase view like 2 look at the car and admire it!

I run much better lap times, and have better control of the car when I use bumper view, but I think it is more fun to use chase view because you get to watch yourself driving the car.

thats why i use it and another thing you can also see how close you are to the rumble strips and the sand/grass on the other side so i can see whether to accelerate or even brake a little

in a race i probably switch threw them 3-5 times a lap!
