Notes:
Menus are smooth.
Gameplay and sound stutters every now and then.
As you can see by sfageas's above screenshots the cars are not skinned at all, they are just shiny and black.
This is as of yesterday 8/28/2013 while I was trying it out myself.

Update: On Windows 7 (x86) using latest build at time of writing this: v0.9.6-691-g4f2f8f0

Logo's and video show correctly, the graphics all look okay, sound effects & music are okay.

I tried 9.6.691 & 9.6.700 -found game works with non-buffered on with slight flickering every now & then - But on buffered rendering on it would freeze emulator during game around the end of first race- which req computer restart.

Try the game with these settings, no flickering or freezes.
Also we both have a Nvidia card, so shouldn't be different outcome.
                       

Update: Turn Off Multi-Threading as that is the cause of the flickering in game.
Just tried game with Non-Buffered Rendering & I must say it looks 100% better graphics wise, just look for yourself:
           

If you still get freezes then update your graphics card driver to v332.21 as mine is.
Hope that helps........have fun.

Thanks Pheonix for replying and taking the time to show pics of your settings - I had nearly the same except i/o on thread was ticked i'll set mine to exactly the same as yours and see if that fixes the emu crash.otherwise i'll look at the grafix drivers being the issue.thx again

Any luck my friend?

No Joy unfortunately - still has emulator crash on my system on 9.6.700 only with buffered rendering on - so it could be emulator or my pc being xp - not sure! most games work no worries with buffered rendering on & my graphics card seems to have the latest drivers but they only go up to 307.83 - Hopefully it'll sort itself out.
