I have the same problem - didn't have it earlier... I'm running Win7 RC 64-bit, I've limited my FPS too 100 and whenever there's other people driving, I get those fps spikes from 100 to 40 or so and back. Don't get them if I'm alone, though. I have Logitech Profiler in use, but I'm gonna install full Win7 soon anyway so I cba to do any tricks now.
