I use GTX 590 and when I play grid only core #1 is used by the game the other core stays at 0-5% usage meaning the other core is overused and gets really hot over 95 celsius, which sux, the core #2 stays at 52 Celsius.

I know that is probably not been programmed to use Dual core GPU's. but is there any way to force the game use more of the second core, or any fix for it? I cannot play the game knowing my GPU is getting fried alive thanks

SLI works here. What drivers are you using? Also go into nvidia control panel and make a profile for the game making sure it's set to SLI and maximum performance.

Okay guys I just realized that I was still on 314.22 so I DL 320.18 and install them oh yeah big jump in performance 5760x1080 all ultra (post processing set to low don't like Vaseline on my screen, GI off, and AL off they do nothing to justify the performance hit) here are the results:

If you are running SLI 6xx cards you need to go to 320.18 for max performance in this game I'll update if I have any stability issues

How do you get the cockpit view interior of car ? I went thru every view never came up! Going to be pissed if this view is not available and uninstall the dam game.

Dude, the cockpit view has been removed from the game, this is a known fact since the game was announced almost a year ago (i suppose you didnt read the news about it lol).
You can re enable the cockpit view using a few mods thought.

....uhm...Thanks?
Im not English and all i learned was all by myself, sometimes this type of posts are rude and generally speaking are unrespectful.
Not my case anyway, thank you for pointing out the error, actually the link helped me a bit into understanding those trouble words lol.
