The helicopters...

[rex1825]

I was blasting through Sarthe where there are helicopters above and I became curious as to why we don't have a replay option from their vantage point. You know, like that ending movie of Gran Turismo 4 with the 350Z at Nordschleife.
It seems like a missed opportunity to have the helicopters but not that replay option, oh well.

...usually devs don't want you (player) to see bad side of their tracks. If you go into photo mode, you won't be able to get higher to some degree, this is due to prevent looking at blanc (empty) parts of track 3D model... same reason why we don't get chopper cams.

There are also other cams, like on Dragon Trail Seaside there are those cranes with cams attached to them...
