well, in shift+u you can choose follow car (hit space for the option) also, go to options-> veiws and near the middle bottom their will be a bunch of stuff you can play with to change veiw.
just a quick tip from me on setups, i highly suggest using normals on the rear and front. Then set the front tires to a lower pressure and some negative camber. The higher pressure you make the fronts, add some more to the negative camber, but not too much. The rears should be a higher tire pressure, so that tires can last longer.
