Try this
Mirrors to cars and track only, no textures in mirrors
turn off specular and dymanic lighting
turn off skid marks
detail slider to 50%
sounds to 3-5
With 10 ai cars you should get good frame rates.

The display options in gpl make very little difference in most
people's systems because people tend to have a video card/
cpu combo that is balanced for what most games require.
GPL is irregularly cpu heavy so people tend to be more limited
by cpu than graphics.

In the file gpl.ini change the value of "sound quality" from whatever it is
to "0"

Er, that's "app.ini" in my version.

No biggie, but the fellow might miss it, and it's a good tip.
