If you got no background processes running, maybe its something like dodgey hardware? Although you said it ran fine until patch W. Have you downgraded to patch V or reinstalled patch W to see if theres any change?
RC racing is pretty competitive, it might be more interesting with giant RC F1 cars!
I read it, and it mentioned 2.2L Turbocharged V6's... on BIOFUEL? And limited to 10krpm... geez, guess I'll have more time to play LFS when F1 is on TV soon
The TBO cars especially will benefit from this, high boost for short races and hotlapping, and less boost for endurance, adds some strategy too to some extent. Also, it can be used to bring the FXO back to the XRT's level, and bring the RB4 up.

We had credits in S1, and we could bypass it with making the AI slow and just driving carefully, no skill was gained.
