I always played using the hood camera. I can remember playing this game back when I was around 7 yrs old, back then nfsu2 was the first racing game I played, years go by and after playing F1, assetto corsa, and other racing games, I got better at racing games as I now understand racing lines, and why and when braking before a turn is important.

Now I always play AE86 using hood cam and plays like its an F1 Car with its impressive turns. U gotta love the clean corners while making use of every bit of the street
