From the 1.1 Readme...

ProtoRacer Championship v1.1
===================================

This update was made necessary by an online problem found after the initial release. The initial release had only been tested with 6-7-8 people simultaneously and the problem was apparent with over 10-11 people on the same server. This update has been tested by 17 people online simultaneously and everything worked like a charm. Of course I would have liked it to be tested much more than that and that may be possible in the future.

Thanks to everyone who helped testing this update:
-SimCar Racing League ( http://www.simcarracing.com/ )
-Quebec Racing ( http://www.quebecracing.com/ )
-World GT League ( http://www.worldgtleague.com/ )
-Real Racing ( http://www.realracin.net/ )

Description of changes
===================================
-New LODs (Level Of Details) added
-Lower overall amount of polys used
-Some textures have been scaled down
-Texture improvement at some places
-Brake disks now glowing
-Collision Feelers adjustment
-Borders of front air intakes/radiator now mapped correctly (used to be flipped)
-New, Force Feedback adjustment via upgrade section (3 levels)

As a result, a nice FPS improvement (over 40% on my computer) and the online bug fixed (fingers crossed). Keep in mind that the whole ProtoRacer mod will be complete and finished only once the three cars are released. So in the meanwhile, it's possible that improvements are brought to the Proton with the release of the second car for example. But nothing is planned for the Proton before that time.

Very cool. Have you run it yet Tim?

I got this installed today. My only complaint is still the drift at high speeds. What gives with that? Is it a matter of making a better setup or it that something that comes with the physics model regardless?
