I use hood or bumper but mostly hood atm as I can see more clearly where I put my car. Also since hood as no rear view, I feel less pressure when playing against other people.
 
For me, it depends on the track. If its a plain track l like to go with bumper view, in tracks with lots of up/downhill sections then I prefer roof view

I am always fastest with cockpit..probably because I have always used it in every racing game...just can't get used to other views...think it depends on people choice
 
Im fastest in chase cam.

I’ve tried to make the switch to bumper view a few times (and stuck with it for months) but I’m consistently slower using this view.

Which is weird becuase I feel like you can feel the rear end losing grip earlier in this view and the sounds are infinitely better compared to chase cam.

For whatever reason, most likely that I’ve been running chase cam since gt1, im much faster in chase cam

Chase cam. The ability to see the entire car, its relation to the road, cars, apex, curbs, you name it... Is such an advantage. Not to mention the ability to see cars positioning behind you and beside you is huge for online racing.
Too many times I see and hear other guys talking about where they thought their car was, or if someone was next to them, I'd they left room yadda yadda, and all too often they're simply wrong.

Most importantly, I've been playing racing games since I was a kid, and Chase cam (back in my day 😂) was all that existed, so it's so ingrained into my hand\eye coordination by now, that I can't fathom ever changing.

Agreed 👍 and it kind of slows it all down 💪

I know there are advantages to it, but man it just doesn’t feel right sitting in a rig with a wheel and then driving the car like you’re flying above it slightly in a drone controlling the car.

I can usually run faster times with bumper cam because I can see curbs better, but it also feels wrong. Sadly the bumper cam darkens on one side when a car is close to you. I’ve always said they should have that in any view and do it with colour instead. Yellow, car is close, orange, beware, red, you’re losing paint. That’s the ultimate way of letting you know somebody is by you… they almost have it figured out but I’m sure they’ll just stick with what they have, in one view.
 
Was a bumper cam user for nearly 20 years but I’m way way way faster in VR, it’s easier for me to feel what the car is doing and angles.

Also feels more natural having driven real cars for nearly 30 years. Has some UI drawbacks but on balance I can work round those.
