The cockpit view is strange...

[Chagen46]

I've noticed something in the cockpit view as of late: Whenever I'm in it, the sense of speed is much better than any other view. I don't know why, but just go into it when you're speeding down a straight; the sense of speed is simply much greater.

Oddly enough, this doesn't happen in Prolougue...

GT PSP widens the viewing angle and thus increases the sense of speed as you see more of the surroundings whizz by when you switch to the cockpit view, GT5P doesn't.
