Best choise seems to be n=2 for me, only thing is thet this setting pants
just the bottom half of the mirror. n=1 is epeleptic... n higher than 2
draws out 3 or more "bands" of rear view with a gap between. Is there any
other setting that i should try changing???

I have also tried tweaking TossHighestMip and MipFiltering settings to no
avail.

Framerates:
Disregarding the rear view problems the framerate is great, a solid 24-36
fps in 1600x1200 res. with 19 cars on the grid and evrything set to max....
Love the sense of speed I get now, opposed to when I was running in 800x600
mode.

In the Nvidia OpenGL settings you have to choose "Use block transfer". That
will fix the mirror thing.

Which CPU do you use and which FSB speed?

PIII733, i820 motherboard  with 256Mb of PC700 (356Mhz) Rambus memory.
Graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce256 (4xAGP)

It's a blast :-)

Since it's hard to judge these figures, if you have time could you please
test the following:
- start at Monaco with 19 ai at the end of the grid (pos 20)
- ALL graphics detail and sound options maxed out, no exceptions!
- in car view
- 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 resolutions

Don't drive away at the start and report the following framerates:
- minimum framerate when the ai are starting the race
- framerate when the last ai disappears behind the first turn
  (at lower resolutions, with 1600x1200 you can still see the top
  parts of the cars at this point)
- maximum framerate before being kicked out

Everything, graphics, sound, physics (damage model) to the max. Force
feedback is on.

1600x1200: 15 FPS
1024x768: 17 FPS

Since the cars are still going pretty slow at this point the lower framerate
is not really a problem, IMO

1600x1200 19 FPS
1024x768   22 FPS

1600x1200: 25 FPS
1024x768: 30FPS

When driving SPA, wich I enjoy the most, I get 19 FPS at the start and then
25-34 FPS while in the race
