After reading your email, I checked the configurations in PP Racer but
didn't find anything regarding changing the prespective while playing
the game. However, I noticed that I couldn't navigate through the game
using the arrow keys (as I had done earlier). I tried to reconfigure the
keyboard keys for navigation but it didn't work.
So in the end I just removed the .ppracer directory in my home
directory. You can try doing that too if you can loose your, or Laura's
game history.
Good Luck,

PS: This is the first time I have heard about a seven year old using
Debian :)
