This game is superb -both in term of gameplay and performance.
Mine runs smooth @ 1360*768 (limitation of my LCDTV) everything MAX/Ultra. It seems this game is optimized even better than Dirt, as with Dirt, to reach this level of performance, I need to turn down something.
My spec (I'm still lazy to update my sig).
C2D @3.0Ghz
2 Gb Ram
9600GT @725/1000
Here are screenshots with framerate. Note that no matter how hectic the situation was, framerate never went below 40, which is great!
Don't know if anyone already know this, but there are more than 3 cars for us to drive.
As we all know, we have 3 cars at our disposal -BMW, Silvia, and Mustang. To get 3 more cars, just do the following:
1. For back-up, rename BMW (BMW 320 SI), S15 (Nissan Silvia), and LAC (Chevrolet Optra) to any name you prefer;
2. Make another copy of GTR (Ford Mustang), CAM (Chevrolet Camaro), and CHA (Dodge Challenger) folders.
As you can only have 3 usable cars, you must choose which car you want to use and rename the files and folders respectively.
For example, if I want to replace BMW by Camaro, this is what I need to do:
1. Rename "CAM" folder to BMW;
2. Rename all files starting with "cam" in CAM folder (now renamed to BMW) to bmw, including the files in all sub-directories. For example if original file is CAM_eltoe

, such file needs to be changed to BMW_eltoe.
Once every file is changed, enter the game and enjoy 3 more cars.

Some pics of these extra cars.
I couldn't make the last one to work as texture is all mess-up when I replace the folder.
