Wow, here I was explaining to some 'GT5' excited kids how those simple driving games could never get close to the excitement of the old Death Track game, and how I wished they made a sequel. Then I google it and found the great news!
So, taking it from there, I would say that yeah, 1st person view is a must, DT was all about the immersion of you being behind the wheel, not about watching some dude driving a car. Basically, there would be nothing wrong with just taking the old game and just remake it to today's standards (3d, sound, online multiplayer). You can leave the changing of stuff for add-ons and mods
