Cockpit view

[Eric. K]

I am just curious why all of the club races do not have the forced cockpit view. It is as big of a deal as traction control IMO. I just did a few laps at Ledenon with some of the other "outside" the car views and right of the bat I shaved a second from my lap time. However, I am going back to the cockpit view as it make me feel as if I am driving a real car (it is sim racing after all) instead of just playing an arcade game (even if that makes me as slow as Nicky Hayden this year)

So what is the reasoning behind it?

Try using cockpit view on a 19" screen or a 22" widescreen like mine...you'll soon have bleeding eyes and laptimes falling cause all you see is 75% cockpit and what's left is simulating your view outside...

I like driving in cockpit view on my 17" (5:4) LCD monitor.
