Strangely I'm getting at least one stutter of a few seconds each lap at
different positions.
I'll go and try a race and see what fps goes down to.

Yeah, but why is sim mode disabled?

After checking I have decided, GTR is now officially the "Spinal Tap" of
racing sims.
Only way that I can think of explaining the fact that the scrub/squeal
sliders *start* at 100% and go all the way up to 200% :P
"Not just an ordinary sim, this is special, it goes all the way up to
200%!!!!"
:D
I've warmed a lot since I've managed to get a decent performance out of
it at last.

It takes entirely too long to download :)

It feels just the opposite to me. Tidy turn-in with great response to
throttle changes. Only thing is that the window for which that happens
isn't terribly large. Maybe I'm just slow. :)
To me, the Cup cars feel more forgiving, but also much heavier (well, ok,
they are) and less responsive. Basically, the differences between 'em seem
about right to me. Bear in mind though that I'm probably the only person on
Earth that thinks the TA physics feel weird. Fun, but weird. Something to
do with the tires, I think.

To be honest, no matter whether the SF drivers cause and functional
problems, I find it pretty impertinent to install stuff on my system
that isn't needed (why should a demo need copy protection?), without
asking me, and then even leave the stuff there after I explicitely
deinstall the software!?
I think I will skip GTR. One has to make a statement, however small and
insignificant, against such intrusions and manipulation of one's private
property.
Because, if X2 indeed uses SF as well, it clearly shows that SF can be
used on a 'per use' basis and doesn't need to be installed into the
system forever, as X2 installed nothing SF like on my system.

We must make a stand people.
