You're probably right.  Right now, the look_at point is barely in front 
of the camera, so it is as if the camera is attached to the car (That's 
the word we use, at least in the US).  No Limits does it the same way, 
though I think it might be a LITTLE bit farther ahead.

What makes it seems really jerky is the banking.  I'm not doing it right 
at all.  In No Limits, the banking transitions are far smoother.  The 
thing is, Ole Lange, the author of No Limits, is very secretive about 
how he calculates the banking.
