Pick a stage, any stage and post your results?

Any car can be used.

Even a Subaru (can it stay in this forum now??)

Start at 8pm to 10pm?

I get this on mine to, and it use to be fine years ago. Using Win2k. Try reinitialising the gfx card in the game options, that helps me for some reason.

wots the url for the patch pls?

Yup got it cheers. Have u got a force feedback or USB stick? Read this anyway point #3 about the audio compression codec, as it may help: '3. Problem: When force feedback is enabled the game runs very poorly with 'choppy' or low frames rates.'

http://www.codemasters.com/support/f...321e847a350c40

Also read the bit about USB sticks, that might fix the problem, I will test tonight, as I have a USB sidewinder stick. When I use to play it and it was fine, I had a normal stick in the gameport, so this could be the problem
