Hi all,

We are using the Gym-TORCS wrapper (https://github.com/ugo-nama-
kun/gym_torcs) which seems to use a modified version of vtorcs (
https://github.com/giuse/vtorcs). We wrote our own teleop controller based
on the snakeoil client that would read in key presses and control the car
(for data collection purposes). We noticed:

 (1) quarter-second latency between button presses and car actions and
 (2) the snake oil client was receiving data from the TORCS server at 5Hz,
using a stripped snakeoil client to time the rate at which messages were
arriving

We found videos that appeared to run controllers at a much frequency and
lower latency, and wondered what SCR patch(es) to TORCS are normally used
and how to install them. Thanks!
