FWIW, I mentioned in Scawen's thread where this discussion started, that I now have round wheels with an onboard graphics chip. I turned the user LOD to max and turned "screen width affects LOD" on. I also have dynamic LOD to 0.

i have the same problem but this doesnt bother me until you say that

Okay, since this thread my LOD's have been acting up very much. I'll show you the pic, and I have to say with it, it's only like that in the beginning of the race. After a while (after T1 or so), it gets normal. Is this the multiplayer speed up option? Or is there something wrong.

mipmaps are tweakable via drivers and driver tweakers so that can be affecting whatever prob you are having, also.
