So true. I find I get the best control using the roof mounted camera, or the in car "helmet" cam. It's the one that almost appears to be placed on the dash.
The sensitivity of the controls seem to change based on the camera angles as well. Typically when I'm holding my line on my controller from the roof view, and switch to a different view, that line I was holding is no more. Its like the controll completely changes based on the view. So, worth giving a try.
