    I've reported many times and the devs are silent....this issue is present since the rf2 creation by ISI and I think it's not fixable.....the 3d engine is very old.....sad.
    It's funny, it should be a priority....the immersion for me goes from a 9/10 to a mediocre 4/10....My fix is to race by night.....

    Hmm, I've had what seems to be a similar issue myself: https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/please-help-find-my-shadows.59891/

    However, the root cause of your issue isn't the same as mine, as S397 already patched it last year. I had the exact same symptoms though; standard shadows from all camera positions bar cockpit. Weird bug to say the least.

    Do you remember what build you first saw the shadow render problem?

    At most tracks, I don't find the ol' ISI shadow-on-barrier problem isn't too much of an issue, as it's only noticeable at locations where the barriers are close to the track, which may only be two or three times per lap. But what circuit has barriers right next to the circuit for the majority of the lap? The Nurburgring. Barrier barriers barriers everywhere. Hard-edge shadows following me and distracting me wherever look.

    I've been playing since the early Beta days and I never really noticed this issue because I never had hardware that could max out the graphics and still get good performance until recently. If I ever noticed it before, I probably just assumed it was because of whatever settings I had set.

    It's not just the guardrails though, it's the grass next to the road too. You can see in the pictures that there are shadows on the road, but not on anything else next to the roads.

    I can’t understand
    In VR
    With the R8 Audi
    It’s 90-91 FPS solid
    With the Tatuus
    45fps

    Most likely, you've maxed out your video ram. Download gpu-z or something similar and you can monitor video ram usage. I have 8gb video ram, and it maxed out when Firefox was also running in the background. When I closed Firefox, it free'd up about 1gb or so.

    We all think of Nords as a great big huge track, but in 'most' areas, you cannot see very far. Where-as the GP circuit is wide open and you pretty much see the entire circuit. I would guess that the extra drawing into the distance is what bogs down the GP course. A-lot of the Ring can be 'hidden' by all those trees. Just a guess.

    Probably because the gpu ram isn't burdened with holding all of the textures from the Nordschleife, like it would on the 24h.

    Could be the pace car that is being used. It's mirror values can overwrite the other cars.

    This is strange as open wheelers usually provide better fps opposed to tin tops.

    It depends of the polycount of the 3d modell. A higher polycount means more drawcalls which means more CPU load with the result of a Gpu usage below 99 percent. The CPU is simply to slow. Its the same story with the Grand Prix Part of the Nordschleife. The 3d buildings increase the polycount............

    I have this issue since day one too. It breaks immersion very badly. Very sad because I love rf2. Could we have an official answer from studio397 on this?

    Unfortunately the pic suffers a bit. Look ingame even better.

    Wow what an amazing rendition of Nurby Nords.
    Well done S397, the narrowness & undulations are next level when I compare it to others in the market. The trees being so close & so tall is another standout.
    Thanks for all your efforts, the wait was worth it.

    Has anyone tried this with the March? I just did a race and the entire field wiped themselves out before reaching the carousel. I went from 36th to first in half a lap. Not my most challenging win.
