Drive me backwards off a cliff if redundant.

 

[Strikerrr]

Prefer First Person with just the gauge cluster if I'm using a wheel

 

[viotech3]

Honestly it's moods. I'm mostly a first person driver but sometimes for seriousness I go third person, and occasionally that zooooomed out option.

 

[Murdamonk]

Since i am using a wheel, mostly first-person

 

[M. Wallace]

A bit further

 

[MZZ]

Sometimes I want to see the inside of the car. Sometimes I want to see the car.

Outside If I need to be more careful. No car if I want to feel like flying.

 

[TronLight]

People voting "No car" are complete psychopaths.
It's either "behind" or "a bit further". Cockpit is cool too but less.

 

[terminaljeremy]

I'm terrible at them so as far away from the car as possible

 

[JigglesBunny]

Spaceships are first person, land vehicles and airplanes are behind the vehicle.

 

[garion333]

Really rad random reading

 

[Jaypah]

Hood mostly in sim style racers (occasionally 1st person) and a combo of hood/behind the car for arcade style racers.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

First person is the most exciting.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Is that a Deftones reference

 

[Starwing]

As a kid, I perferred third person. Nowadays, I use first person when I can.

 

[.exe]

Usually behind, but hood cam is my racing equivalent of the gamer lean.

 

[Mass Effect]

Usually 3rd person, a little further back. But I also like first person as well as long as the FOV is decent.

I'm your passengerrrrrr....

[BubbaKrumpz]

arcade racing games is behind the car. Any simcade gets first or hood view if I get serious.

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

That last one is neato. Can't believe I understood that reference dot gif.

 

[Dreamchaserhg]

First-Person when I use a wheel. Third-Person with a controller.

 

[Quinton]

Past particle or imperfect tense

 

[SoundCheck]

Hood

 

[Lant_War]

Depends heavily on the game, but in general the camera close to the car behind is my choice. Driveclub's default is perfect imo:

 

[Kongo B]

I voted passenger view because I wanted to feel what it's like being an insane person

 

[VodkaFX]

Hood if sim
Behind the car if arcade racer (e.g. Daytona USA, Wangan)


Used to be no car when I play racing games as a kid, but over time i realized that view is so bad, because the camera is so close to the ground, its very hard to see the incoming terrain / path.
