I have that issue alot with the sound mixer in Windows 7, and not only with LFS. Seems like if a new program that has sound is started, the volume of that program is set to a random number between 0% and 100%.
Have you tried recording from any other "old" DirectX 8.1 games to see if it is the older graphics API causing this issue? 
I.e. Freelancer, Black and White, CS 1.6, the old Ghost Recon series, etc.

If the signal is 60 Hz, and the graphics card is drawing more than 60 frames per second, frames are show just partly or not at all on your monitor screen. This means the graphics card is drawing alot of graphics that is never shown to you, thus doing unnecessary work. If your computer is getting very hot, turning on VSync to limit how much work it is doing might help keeping it cooler.
Another problem you get without VSync is frame tearing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing

Not open wheel, but getting too much air under the car is bad in any case.

Go to Start - Run - type in 'dxdiag' and hit enter. Go to the screen tab and check if dxdiag have detected any problems, and that videocard drivers are properly installed.
You can also try upgrading your videocard drivers.

Where are all the GT2 racers?
Hi.
For one and a half year, Airio GT2 is what has kept me in LFS. But with the recent ban on GT2 at Cargame.nl S2, the GT2 racing seems to have died all togheter.
Browsing the host lists, there are about 5 populated servers (of 115 servers in total, I might add). The second most popular server is a mod server with around 5 people on it. But I do not see any other populated server allowing GT2. So where have all the GT2 racers gone these days?
PS. Looking at the licensed racers statistics at LFS World, it peaks at around 500 racers in the weekends. But the populated servers in the online hosts list accounts for about 60 racers, meaning there is 440 racers online at servers not appearing in the hosts list. I'm guessing some of these are events, leagues, and such. But are almost 90% of the online racers really racing on closed league/events servers these days?

For the kick/ban voting, it is enough that one moron starts a vote against you, and the rest follows as sheeps. So I wouldn't get upset right away about that.
My impression is that the S2 license is for the grown ups. On S2 licensed servers you will find more dedicated people, which are more interested in good, clean racing rather than drama and pranks.

I always use Vsync to limit render rate to the frequency of my monitor. Not only does it remove the screen tearing issue, but it also keeps my graphics card cooler as it does less work when it is not rendering alot of frames that isn't displayed anyway.
I use the map constantly when racing on multiclass servers to get information about traffic, accidents, etc. that is otherwise out of sight. Very useful indeed.
Pff, you just have to get out of your comfort zone! 
Practice makes perferct, even mouse steering. I have driven 145 258 km using mouse, and it's no problem. It only takes about 25 000 laps to get it right.

I agree, I'm mostly exited about the new content. But the new open track feature helped alot on the new tracks issue.
Not to speak about many more tracks, and most of them have extensive options for vairous configurations/routes with the new open track feature!

Click on any track. In open track mode, you can drive anywhere you see light or dark gray colors. Kinda like a super-combo of all possible configurations.

What was the version of LFS where cars felt lighter?
ENBseries with color correction and HDR also makes the graphics in LFS alot more interesting.
Are there any more streams than these four: http://www.livestream.com/iracingdwc/folder ?
If so, where can I find them?

Our only goal was to finish the race, which we did despite this beeing the first league (and endurance) race for most of our drivers. We also had alot of fun, so the race was a succsess for the Cargame.nl team.
Thanks for the good racing and administration. And apologies for all the problems we caused.

For this incident: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1671893#post1671893
This will be my first event ever, and I'll be racing FZ2 with mouse. Should be interesting.

Will the best pre-qualifying lap have to be a Airio valid hotlap?

I don't think those two effects are implementet. If they are, the effect is really minute, atleast for me to notice.
He'll probably throw you a NaN exception trying to answear this.
