    I run shadow blur at the highest setting. "Quality" IIRC, and the shadow setting at "Max". They appear nice and clear both inside and outside the car, but at longer distance, as is always the case, they get grainy looking. Can't do much about that though.
    Have a go with the max settings and see what they look like.

    I think it's just the usual tradeoff with shadows in games, they are very hard to get realistic looking shadows with little performance impact. Especially for a non AAA title
    It's like when I've seen people complaining that the shadows look terrible on the low setting...well...it's the low setting...there's gotta be a tradeoff somewhere, or there's not much point in graphics options.

    HDR on/off? The Screenshot, it is an addon track? If yes, maybe you should try to find YOUR settings with an ISI Track, Limerock 2.0 would be a good starting point.
