    Totally agree. It would be nice if someone from eSprts explained exactly why TV pod is allowed and why Cockpit isn't mandatory.


    I actually thing you guys are going about it the wrong way; I personally wish the FIA would force the teams to change the seating arrangements of the drivers so their heads and bodies are mounted where the T-pods are.

    That or a periscope system so that they view is of the T-pod.

    I think I'll email Pat Symonds with my ideas.


    Preliminary tests have been carried out but it never quite seems to make it to the next set of regulations...

    LOL 🙂

    Maybe another option is to make them drive in the European Truck Racing Championship if they are so bothered about being able to get a good view of the apex!

    I trust you've seen that your YouTube hero agrees with me re. cockpit view? 😁

    I agree with him. Although he still uses Look Back option while I stick to side mirrors only 😉  (I don't use that Rear Mirror travesty 😉 )

    And for mirrors to be visible, you need to push back horizontally and therefore the front visibility is bit worse. So you also need to judge the distance to a car in front more carefully.

    But it's much more fun 😉

    @Ultrasonic_77 How dare you say he’s my hero!!!!!! I’m my Hero thankyou😀 You should know that by now.

    I’ll say it again. I’d prefer to use cockpit for the same reasons the limited man states. You do feel a lot more connected. However I’m a gamer not a sim racer. It’s easier to use Tv pod. I will advocate for more immersion for others. But for me there’s no point. Hard to get all immersive when I use a little tiny stick to control my car😀

    On the first point, my apologies!

    On the second point, the game is also easier if you turn the AI level down. Like @P4st3l1ak says, for me this is a choice about enjoyment rather than being some sort of hardcore sim-racer.

    Rightly or wrongly, I largely rely on proximity arrows to judge where surrounding cars are. Look-back and rear-view mirror are just totally artificial, and a POV with permanent good view of the mirrors detracts from the real cockpit experience. With look to apex on max it's possible to have a camera setup which means some of the mirrors are visible when turning in, which is how I've had it most recently.

    @Ultrasonic_77 On your first point. Your apology is accepted but don’t do it again 😀😝

    On your second… I should have been clearer… Easier to see not easier against Ai. I genuinely feel some claustrophobic effects from cockpit view. Which is I suppose a compliment to cockpit view.

    Well, yes. Although not unrealistically so (as per helmet cam video below). I totally get it's not for everyone but just being clear the choice for many is about enjoying the game more, rather than some other agenda.
