I get that on certain tracks but very rarely. I tried cws15 at the fse night daytona and it ran smoothly all the way around except coming out of t4 to about the s/f line. Not sure what causes it. Maybe update your gfx drivers.
How do you compress the car files?
Awesome! Thank you!!With great NR2003 editing tool WinMip2. You can grab it here: http://www.racelinecentral.com/NR2003_tools.html
Then open it, go Extras/NR2003 Car File Editor open car files (loacated in your NR2003 dir/Series/"current mod"/cars) look at your current car and pit textures (should be some of them or both sectors in 16- or 24 bits) and choose compression method (24-bit comp) for car and pit crew too, drag both car and pit crew texture priority's to left end, save (can overwrite it) and voalá now you have your new (smaller in MBs) car file who now eats less your graphic card memory. Of course you should do this for all your current car set if you want to see a difference and without that graphical issue. It's not a complicated process..... but can take some time to compress them all if you have there some 40-50 cars!
When I open the car files in WINMIP all the settings you listed above are already selected. Does this mean its already been done?With great NR2003 editing tool WinMip2. You can grab it here: http://www.racelinecentral.com/NR2003_tools.html

Yep! Probably mod designers already did that! You can look at both sections car and pit crew, if they are both compressed then it's already been done! If there is compressed only one of them (car skin or pit crew) then you can do the same what I wrote above - compress other thing too! There can be one more thing to help if compressing wont help! As I know some mod/carset developers release two type carsets Hi and Low res (for example ex DMR did that kinda things), there is no big difference between these carsets except maybe some graphic level texturing (actually with an eye I don't see between them big difference) and MBs in HDD and of course difference when you running hi quality carsets on new HI graphic tracks... to get straight to the point if your videocard RAM is about 1GB, then HI graphic tracks and carsets both will eat it very fast and for example then in the pits area (front stretch) your graphic card will slow down in fps. And that's the main problem, as far as I know, why this graphic issue happens.
