Me too, if l had a pound for every lap I've done around Maple Valley on FM 2,3,4 I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams.
Pclab.pl has some early performance tests (site is in Polish):

The rain in this game, man, it absolutely destroys performance...

No. Ultra settings destroys performance.

What's the deal with preloading on PS4? The digi version is preordered and my machine is in snooze mode - does that mean it'll start downloading as soon as it's available? Is this likely to be staggered before midnight tonight so the servers don't break under load?
Never done this before.

It should do, although I could have sworn that when I preordered Bloodborne it downloaded a couple of days before release.......
Ultra is really overkill and aimed at the very high end hardware or even the future. Especially Environment Maps and Reflections at Ultra are something you probably don't want to do, they are very, very heavy.
Is it just replays or live game too? It could be caused by compressed data in replays, but I really have no idea about it. Can't remember ever noticing anything like that from my gameplay sessions though.

OK, it was installing from BD for so long... stupid I.

Received mine from GMG a few minutes ago.
No idea, although I could have sworn I'd seen someone else mention the same thing recently as well......
Maybe that's an intro race you have to complete? A few racing games (annoyingly) do this.

Holy shit ...
I wonder how the PS4/X1 even manages to pull through when they have a lot less horsepower than a mid-level gaming rig. Rain conditions brings a GTX770 down in the 20s. The graphics for consoles must be tuned down a whole fucking lot.
Ouch at rain, 970 and 980 lost 50% performance!
Nope, I don't think it's going to start till tonight...........
Because at ultra reflections the cpu is the bottleneck.

I would love to know the reasoning behind the eight weeks rule. UK PSN was able to do it. Xbox seems to put games up for preorder and preload as soon as they get the code in.
With a Core i7-4790K @ 4.5 GHz?
Absolutely. My 2700 at 5 ghz HT ON can put more than 46 fps with lots of cars reflected over the track.
Considering a 4790K is atleast 10% faster clock for clock, that would make it on par with a sandy bridge at 5Ghz, more inclined to believe its to do with the track/weather/tod combination.
What GPU and is it overclocked? As their 980/970 have quite low clock speeds.
Of course, on sunny weather there are not reflections, a track with more geometry will have more complex reflections and the number of cars is critic too.
Hmm, not for me :-/
Not sure if anyone posted, but first DF analysis up: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-05-06-project-cars-puts-the-sport-back-into-motorsport-games
It might go up with the weekly update. I'm constantly trying the webstore but it's just putting it the download queue.
Mine just says "waiting", UK PSN.
So Bandai went crazy over nothing at DF? Because the frames still look very bad.
in the UK, I just turned on my ps4 and it started downloading.

The game is gonna become the new Crysis of GPU and CPU bechmarks for sure.
I7-5960X + GTX 980 only getting 48 fps at 1080p with 20 opponents in the rain, and the maximum AA settings aren't even used in those tests. Le Mans in the rain with 55 AI at max settings is gonna cause meltdowns lol.
Hopefully the day 1 patch on PC has other optimisations in addition to fixing the grass performance and we also see some better drivers in the near future.
Also I'd love to see someone test max AI at Le Mans in the wet on console and see how they stack up.

Hmm I'm sure it usually says "waiting" just before it starts downloading.

They look fine for career races.
If you want to do a solo race with 40+ at lemans with a thunderstorm it's not really a surprise it's going to chug.
Grass performance was fixed in build 998 iirc so is an old fix already. You only have to tone down reflections to High instead of Ultra to achieve really great framerates in Le Mans with 45 cars (I can't remember how many of them in that shot)
