There has been much debate over 'real time' racing. It is obvious that if you
max out your settings, you can kick ass out of your best time. Because you
travel slower, you can brake in a much shorter distance as well as gauge good
control into and out of corners. For instance, I hit 1.22 at monza constantly.
When I increased the graphics, I hit a 1.19. No change in car settings. I
assume if I frig around, I can get it faster.
SOoooo....I suggest a sought of comprimise until we can get Geoff to include
it in a patch. If we all use the automatic setting as advised for graphic
details, at least we should be all on the same foot. I would like to
interogate a hotlap to get information such as control method, machine specs,
AND detail level the hotlap was recorded in.
Then we can have a competition! You will be able to see those who are running
the game on a DX33 with all graphics on and getting super fast times and those
running it at the recommended frame rate based on the machines configuration.

Because of this reason I put the fps, Occupancy levels, details, and machine specs
on my site. It contains tables of the 10 best times for each track, including
this info. So if you're looking for REAL lap times, you should take a look.
