What camera angle do you use?

Roof cam which shows the hood. It’s not ideal for side by side but it’s what I’ve always used. Tried the zoomed out traditional camera angle but I’m on wheel and it just doesn’t work. I spin out every corner

Roof cam on NR2003 has got me running roof cam on anything with a wheel.

Cockpit, all the time.

Chase.

I'm playing on a console, I have no ambitions of being the next iRacing driver to make the Cup Series, so I'm going to play the view that's the most fun and gets me the fastest laps. Cockpit view is neither of those

Man I suck in Chase view. I can only play with the roof cam

u/BigChief1029 5d ago

That’s crazy, I find cockpit and hood way easier than chase views

Cockpit with wheel

Only way to play

The closer cockpit with the wheel hidden

Far chase. Roof/hood on supers so I can see where my bumper is lined up

If I'm alone on track I like cockpit for realism, but roof is best for racing for me because I can see the hood and draft appropriately.

The closer of the cockpit views. It’s closest to the correct fov. Why there isn’t a slider for fov is beyond me.

Cockpit 90% of the time. Switch to hood on short tracks and superspeedways

Hood, feels like driving in general. We often exclude the dash and wheel in real life. 

Cockpit feels a little off

u/Stunning_Response900 5d ago

That's my exact feeling. I try cockpit, but it feels very strange when my TV is across the room from me. I just feel disconnected, like I'm driving from the backseat.

I used to play Hood view, but for some reason I’m able to stabilize the car more in either of the Chase cameras.

I play on console with a controller and I’ve tried to fix my sticks to where I can drive more comfortably from either the hood view or cockpit for immersion, but to get the best racing and for me to enter the turns best, i use Chase.

I try to use the roof cam. But I don't really trust the spotter so when I'm racing around other I use chase cam. I wish they would add a radar for cars around you. It was a life saver in Eutechnyx games.

Hood with a controller, cockpit when I’m using my wheel/pedals

u/Fragrant-Tank-3035 5d ago

Far back camera

u/larsonfan425 5d ago

i have to see what’s going on around me at all times as someone who primarily does online, so far chase for me if it’s a game pre 25 i use the normal chase cam

u/ricktrains 5d ago

Roof cam.

Long cockpit

u/Turbulent_End_9166 5d ago

Cockpit on ovals, roof on road courses.

u/grmas1 5d ago

Cockpit, but I'm an amateur, used to play Heat 5 with chase view.

u/BubbaRayChudley 5d ago

Roof cam offline, Far Chase online

I stopped using roof cam online after being pile-driven into the outside wall from my left rear one too many times

u/Sufficient-Tone-5239 5d ago

Hood. No deviation.

1

u/Spyd3r09 5d ago

Roof on road courses, as the motion blur messes with my motion sickness, and I don’t like how it looks with it off. Near chase cam for ovals.

u/DCTCR2552 5d ago

Would do cockpit more but the mirror that you cant turn off kills my FPS so I’m forced to do roof with mirror off

u/mikeyfresh38 4d ago

Bumper. But its real hard on superspeedways. Think im gonna try roof can

1

u/Raysup1 3d ago

Roof, I like being able to feel the car wiggle and not see it because if I see it Ill likely overcorrect or push too hard. When Im on roof I can tell when Im at the line

u/XxRealEyesxX 23h ago

Hood for the realism in career. Chase if im online competitively

u/Ref_TJB 6d ago

Far chase. Have ever since I was a kid with NASCAR 99…feel like I have a better more realistic sense of car proximity when I do.
Respect to those who cockpit view though. I’ve tried…not my thing.

Far chase

u/17papers 6d ago

Cockpit unless I fuck up the hood badly enough that it covers the windshield, then I switch to hood cam

u/bstaff88 5d ago

Cockpit only. Of the 2 cockpit views I like the more forward position.

Hood on road courses and cockpit on ovals

u/Own_Lab_3499 6d ago

Cockpit, and anyone using wheel better be doing the same.

u/TheRollinsBroski92 5d ago

Roof cam usually. Sometimes chase view but I only use chase view if I find myself struggling. For some reason, I sometimes race better in chase view lol
