COMMUNITY POLL : What camera angle do you use for serious racing and why

[SebVettelFan]

I used to use the chase cam. But I tried cockpit cam and loved it and I use roof cam for standard cars.

Yep, I've tried to use Bumper but then I can't find the apex.

Bumper cam for serious and online, its the only way for me to feel the car properly and see road ahead. And very good rear view mirror to see behind, very usefull online. (PS - when car wants to spin out bumper cam is the easyest way to deal with it)

Chase cam for arcade driving, cruise, fooling around etc. or just to see how car is damaged or how it looks.

Cockpit view for all GT career and seasonal events (its the hardest way to drive) but since 90% of the career and seasonal events are so easy, then its no big deal and feels very real when diven this way.

PS. all this is for me. Some of my friends Use Chase cam, but since they suck at racing.. you get the point .. but I do belive some of you manage to learn properly the chase cam and racing well.

I started to use Bumper cam in GT4 on nurburgring, when I realised it was way more easy and my lap times improved dramaticly.

"Bumper" cam, because it's the most realistic. Look at how much of you field of view your TV takes up. Now imagine sitting in a car. Unless you sit three feet from a 60" TV basically the whole area of your vision your TV takes up will be windscreen; not dash, wheel, roof lining etc. Cockpit view feels like you're sitting in the back seat.

This one, agreed 100%.. still this all fits for me!

I just don't like the bumper view because you can't see any of the car. Feels stupid to me.

Hardest way to drive?
I find bumper cam hardest out of all since you can't see where your car is relation to everything else.
100% of Career and Seasonal events are easy

The FGT really needs a cockpit view.
I love those single seaters

I assumed Career meant A-Spec.
It actually took me 11 hours, over 4 days

I use Bumper and Cockpit, when I'm drifting I like to use the cockpit cam and for gripping I use bumper cam.

 

[GTOne2Three]

Bumper cam. Better visibility.

I like the cockpit cam but it hurts my eyes for some reason. Perhapse if the blurred out the edges of the cockpit, and be able to adjust not only the field of view but also the angle and height.

 

[Sn1per666]

Cockpit. Only exceptions being F1 and X1 which I use roof cam.

 

[Tvensky]

all this just proves that all views are good, all depends only on the driver!

ohh yes and 60% of votes proves that bumper cam is the best! lmao. here we go again!

I use chase cam when racing other people as it's the only one that enables you to race closely and avoid contact.
