    It appears that the cars go a lot slower while in car camera view opposed to the bonnet view since update 0.5.2.0,I cant understand if this is a feature or an actual bug,from what i know it is bugging me immensely.
    I hope to hear an official opinion soon,if requested I can upload a video about it.

    It's been like this since before the update. It's because you have a restricted view of the terrain from inside the car, whereas the bonnet view gives you a full view of the road, without a windshield in the way.

    It is because the FoV is greater in hood view, giving the sensation of more speed.

    EDIT:
    FoV demo (by me ;))
    Both are the exact same animation, but the camera's FoV is turned up or down, respectively.

    We'll have an FOV slider soon so you can customize it however you like.
