Make sure you have the glide.dll file in your windows/system directory
as I think f1rs sometimes removes it, and doesn't put it back? Also
check out the latest patches from ubisoft, I had a similar problem and
one of the patches stopped it (cannot remember which one, but there
are only two of them?)
You might also want to turn off replays as that causes stutters at the
start of races too.
