Weird problem with GP4 during a race

Not sure whats going on but when i start a race, the game seems to go in slo-mo during corners, especially if there are cars around.
Then it kind of speeds up to normal speed during the straights.

Im running it on Win7, corei5 760 and GTX1060.
Game is maxxed out.
Not running GPX patch.

Also im running it in Stereo3D as it looks amazing. With nvidia 3dVision.
Turning the Stereo3d off seems to help.

so im thinking some kind of performance issue?
But the game is so old it should be flying, 3D or no 3D.

If im running time trials for example there are no issues with slow-motion.

The race however seems to go in slow-mo, at the start of the race and especially first corner.

How much PO is the game showing? With newer mods the PO is higher, no matter how old is the game

PO = processor occupancy - press/hold the o button to check - the lower, the better

@ the start and first corners its higher, but if it reaches 100 the game slows down

do you use a FFB wheel? check my thread about stuttering in corners

Ok thanks will check this PO next time i race.
Yes im using a logitech FFB wheel.

By the way yesterday i tried going in the videio options and changing the desired FPS from 60 to 40 and this seems to help too.

I see both of you have wheels.
Any of you interested in a short hotlap contest of 5 or 6 events?
