Well, on my P-133, 80 mb ram, 1mb Trident SVGA card, I can acheive an
astounding 2 framer per second. It's great!!. I just ordered the Hercule
sThriller 3D 8mb PCI card. Do any of you think this will be of any big help at
all?

your system should run ok. Not great, but acceptable. I have a slower
system than yours:
iP250MMX (actually an overclocked iP166MMX running at 2.5x100MHz)
96MB PC100 memory (but that won't make much of a difference, neither
regarding the speed nor the size, except for replays)
2MB Trio T2D graphics card
Diamond Monster Voodoo 1 (4MB)
With this, I get the following framerates (all for 640x480
resolution):
36fps in training, with all textures turned off in the mirrors; all
forward textures turned on except beveled tires, driver texture,
***pit texture and clouds; detail bias in the middle; "quality"
options unchecked.
25 or more fps with same settings in races with 9 opponents, except at
the start.
Constant 36 fps with 19 opponents - if I drive in the outside view.
The Voodoo1 doesn't like drawing the mirrors, it seems.
Your system should do as much, if not better.

You may not get stellar performance with your Voodoo1, but you should
still manage well. I have a similar configuration but with the Voodoo2.
I run in 640x400 mode with most textures on (no crowd,***pit, arms).
I can achieve a good constant 36fps most of the time solo. It will drop
considerably with full field of AI (down to the low 20's on the grid).
You may wish to run at the lower resolution if you find a big frame rate
hit with your Voodoo1. Of course you can always consider upgrading to
Voodoo2 or plop in a Thriller to replace your Graphixstar.
