Is this the ISI F12001 graphics engine? I ask because the lighting and shadows seems to look rather flat to me. I know it's an alpha but it all looks dark and flat on my 9800pro. Cars look nice with spectral lighting from the outside view though. The tracks show no shadows from trees and buildings though.

It's certainly not as flashy as TRD2 which has real-time reflections etc but it does the job and looks nice. They need to work on the sunshine fx a bit so that it doesn't look so gloomy.
