Bumper cam, it gives you the best view of the track.

I use bumper cam for most of my cars, except the Ferrari F1 cars (Roof cam) and the decent premium cars. (Ones where you can actually SEE the mirrors) Corvette is set up perfect for the mirrors.

Chase cam, always have since the days of GT2. I like to see the things around me, plus you get better engine noise.

last month, I was all about the bumper cam, cause you can see the most that way. However, since xmas (aka getting a wheel) I find myself using interior view as much as bumper cam. Except that Citroen GT, as awesome as that car is, you just can't see very much from the drivers seat...

+1. I think you can see the topography of the track and better plan for and judge turns this way.

I don't understand this. Topography is the same every time you approach the same corner. It doesn't change.

bumper view because you can feel the speed better but i do use cockpit view on very few cars like the mach 1

He means the perspective, not the topography outright changing.
Like TPS to FPS shooters, different perspective for the same image.

I didn't say it changed, I'm saying you can see it and prepare for it better. Down low on the ground I always turn in too early and/or too much.

Oh I didn't know you couldn't do it.
Just thought it an odd thing to say.
I see what you mean.

I usually use the far view, and always had, but now I'm going into the interior view. Kinda hard sometimes but I'm still teaching myself.

Cockpit all the time, I would be curious to know the split between the drivers using the wheel ( I do ) to the same question.
I have to admit being surprised by so many are racing/driving with the bumper cam view!!
For drifting I use the view from behind the car with the controler, but that would be not even 1% of my time with GT5

Always cockpit. Although I think if you can get a feel for car control in chase cam, it's a great advantage in online racing. From GT1 to GT4, I always used chase cam, until cockpit view was born. I just like seeing the interior attention to detail.
"Bobalob", may I remind you it's a game, and you're a just as much a "wannabe racer" as the rest of us, despite using bumper cam. Also, fyi, the proper racing sims all use cockpit as their standard view.

Only cockpit, I'll never use another view.
