I'm a born-again GPL'er using an Ati Radeon and the Direct 3D Patch.
If I'm doing a practice - I'm fine..but
When I race and there's other cars ahead of me - it stutters - badly. I'll
get a few seconds fine, then a few short pauses. Plays HELL with your
powerslides - Anyone else got the same problem (and ugly noises with a
Soundblaster Live Platinum)

No such problems here...
-W2K SP1, DX8
-PIII933, 384 MB PC133
-Intel D815EEA MB
-Radeon 32DDR 3102 drivers
-SB Live Digital w/ Dell's LW3 drivers
-GPL 1.2 (or whatever the official Papy patch is) w/ D3D patch, hi-res
cockpit and 3D wheels on two car makes.
ACPI fully functional with Radeon and SBLive on the same IRQ (and 5 other
devices).
I do get occasional slight stuttering near the end of a short novice AI race
(I'm not good enough for the intermediate races). I attribute that to
perhaps the replay file being written to disk as available RAM decreases but
that's a guess as I've never tried a longer race to see what happens.
As a shot in the dark... is your pagefile a reasonable size?
