I agree about the problem, but never found it as bad as with Wipeout Pulse whose frame rate issues always make that game hard for me. The only time I found it unplayably bad on Wipeout 1 is when the AI ships are ganging up on you. I think there is a lot more lag on the PAL version. When you switch back to it from NTSC it`s like watching a slideshow and very difficult to time movements, though after a short while you adjust to it again.
