Does not start new game

It's a sound problem. VDrift is asking for a 44.1k sound buffer, and SDL is giving it a 22k sound buffer. As a result, the game throws an exception when loading the engine sounds because all of the car engine sound samples are 44.1k. Try upgrading your soundcard drivers. If that doesn't work, make a shortcut to VDrift.exe with the -nosound option after it and try that.
