Changing the camera view can make a difference, whether you're enjoying the scenery, immersing yourself in the experience, or checking your position during a race. You can experiment with different perspectives using the number keys. No need to memorize them—try pressing the keys to find the view you like.
Also, remembering shortcuts for power display and related features can be helpful.
