    I believe this is caused by wrong interaction between PBR and some troubled track's reflection setting, although I'm not sure if its from one of the ReflectionMapper setting or not. If you try the same car on official tracks the problem doesn't exist.

    Thanks mate, it was exactly this, bad configuration of the reflectors!

    I get this on many of the stockar tracks using a mod that uses IBL/PBR. I get a shimmer on the cars behind in the rearview mirror when the cars are a certain distance behind, about a couple car lengths.

    Maybe because the tracks uses some late default values in SCN for the reflectors (REFMAP0 and REFLECTEDENV). I copy the Hockenheim standard values for reflectors and solves the problem.

    I checked the scn(s) and those seemed fine but I have a correction to my statement above. It's the windows that shimmer but it looks very similar to the noise you saw.

    I think it's an issue where something close to the track like an advertisement gets reflected over the whole car. I've noticed it a lot in the stock car. On mountain peak in turn 3 it's very noticeable.
