Jittery Lag
Jittery Lag.

The update for other cars on my screen is not smooth, it's jittery and sometimes it makes it hard to keep track of where they are when racing.

I've forwarded port 63392 to my router without any effect. I don't have this problem with other games.

Thanks
If one particular car is doing it, then the chances are they are lagging, if all other cars are doing it, either you may be lagging, or the server itself is laggy.
So what is the PING to the servers you are joining? Ping is listed on the "list of hosts" before your join.

Anything more than 100mS (milliseconds) you will start notice cars warping about. To stop it, join servers with a ping less than 100mS, these servers are closer to your home.
you can also SHIFT+F8 to get network debug info.

Very true, but useless for me, as my ping is usually about 300 to 400ms, because my web is so bad, i may as well be connecting to the internet using a boiled egg and a coathanger.

Seriously though, i always try to pick servers with the lowest pings, which does help to stop car warping.

I have a feeling that when the server list has finished loading in LFS, they are listed with the lowest ping servers at the top of the list, so i would pick the very top one if it was me, and see if your problem is still there.
