Because you don’t see more of the front. Go look at replays side by side. Both bumper/cockpit have a much bigger view of the distance between your car and the next. This isn’t disputable it’s literally proven by any photo/video you look at.
And on that same note, cockpit/bumper cam leaves you almost oblivious to your surroundings as well. So how is it actually worse? Sure, if you're only looking ahead I suppose that's all that matters, right? However, you're portraying the idea of clean, fast, racers that are more than able to conduct themselves correctly when on the track. I think that should be taken into consideration.
What you're ignoring is the fact that these people that use chase cam are probably used to how close they can get to someone by now, and can race cleanly and extremely close as well. Much in the same way that I know exactly where the limit of the track is, allowing me to ride as close to the curbs as possible, while I use interior view, even if I can't see it completely while going around the apex.
Yes but my point was, the biggest advantage of chase cam is minimized in a good group. Its a bigger advantage in a room full of idiots.
Then the big advantage of a interior cam is also minimized as well. If I know the guy in front of me is well aware of the track and its braking points, then I have much more confidence practically driving on his bumper. If I used that view religiously, I likely know how close is too close and how far is too far. It's not a magic assumption, its accumulated experience, just like you have with interior view.
They might adapt and acclimate. But they are still working with limited visual information. That’s my point, there is less visual information regarding distance with chase cam.
Sure, if you're only looking one direction while racing. However, if youre actually in one of those good races you're talking about, theres likely more you need to take into consideration with your surroundings.
That in itself is also less visual information. So in that case, what do you do to make up for that disadvantage? You practice enough to make it habit, and learn the ins and outs, just like you and I probably have with interior views. You get good at the method you set yourself up for. So if you're going to keep bringing up good racers, than that should be an easy thing to accept in this case, I think.
That is verified by photos/video, just like the advantage of chase cam is easily verified by photo/video.
The only thing verifiable is that it's a different perspective, not that the people in the view can't race any closer because you don't think they can. You learn and adapt to overcome the difficulties ahead of you, and that can be done with any view.
Problem is most of these guys are unwilling to concede anything at all.
To be honest, this is nothing but ironic from what I'm seeing. Top 10, I'm not sure, but of my friend's list the people that are faster are the ones that are actually using the chasecam. They are definitely far from slow, as well.
They want to live in make believe land and believe that chase came is superior in every way possible.
Thats the problem here. You don't get to make that subjective choice for everyone on what is easier, better, superior, inferior for anyone but yourself.
Problem is, if that were true we’d see chase cam guys winning GT Academy. But they don’t.
So it only counts if its in GT academy? You mean how many of those people would exploit track boundaries and the game itself and things like that in order to produce the fastest time they possible can? Yeah, I'm not sure I'd use that as a gauge at all.
Question, how much data have you looked into that makes you think that this opinion is irrefutable?
