Reduce polygon count

Hi,

I am trying to run TORCS on an old laptop which has a bad graphics
card (terrible, actually). I am getting unusable FPS, usually along
the lines of 1-2 FPS. However, I noticed when changing to the front
(bumper) view in Practice mode, I suddenly get great FPS. So now I
think reducing the cars' polygon amount would be a good fix, however I
have no idea how to do that. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Quinten
