Like Ramon said, it all comes to presonal preference, and for me it's all front view. I just like that view cause of that great sense of speed. I just feel comfortable with it.

I don't mind driving a cockpit view in case it's forced on a server, allthough I need some practice with it, but just because of the great sense of speed, I stick with the all front view.

tried bonnet/hood view last night (both in race and gtr2)

Took a while to get used to this view but starting to feel hitting more apex's. Not made much of an improvement if any on times, but thats where I'm missing some of my breaking points now (ie: where x passes door mirror stamp on the anchors). Just need to readjust. Thinking some improvement may be from the extra fps I'm getting as its flowing a lot smoother now not having to draw the car and all the internal gadgets.

Still struggle with the RWD though, snapping out at back when changing down gear to aggresivley.... but thats another story.

Cockpit. Gives me that "You're really in the car" feeling!

For me it usually depends on which game I'm playing. My PC spec is very modest and I get significant fps hits from Cockpit view in Race 07, so I use bonnet. I also don't think the Race 07 cockpit view is realistic to the real life driving position (well not the way I drive in real life anyway).
However, for GTL, and now rFactor, the cockpit view is great and I prefer that one.

i only use cockpit view now, have tried swingman and bonnet cam,but since getting GTL i can't use those anymore, i like the immersion factor from cockpit view.

Always cockpit view, for the immersion and that's the only view where the TrackIR works.

I never really got the hang of the RWD cars, somehow did not feel in control with them. Just now i tried again the BMW, changed to cockpit view, and i was in wonderful control of the car from that view... interesting... why the hell i did not try before... lol

So strange, all other FWD cars i feel in better control from hood, but the BMW for me was almost close to undriveable from hood view, but in cockpit... i loved it! I finally felt the car from the first second i was driving it, like if it would have been a different car. Ok, i think there is a new challenge for me now to practise!

Atti - you are dead right, i find that any car that i drive which slides around a bit is much easier to drive on the inside, as you can see how the car is reacting much easier in my opinion.

Cockpit view for me in any car, whatever the game
