I made some screens from the places where the drops are damn extreme.

If you drive to the left directly next to that ship the framerate is just pain in the...head...definitly in the head...and nothing else ^^

I have tested this slightly today after being patched, and I can at least report that the framerate has definitely improved in most areas, I am running a GTX 660, so maybe they just fixed the framerate when working with Nvidia cards?

That being said, there is still a major framerate drop area as mentioned by chaz0r above, the link is:

The odd thing is, the framerate, for me anyways, only drops when you are looking in the direction as the screenshot and driving in that direction (Northwest) through the area, it drops to about 24 and slow motion. If you turn around after driving through the village (Southeast) then the framerate is fine, at a constant 30 for me.

This still shows that the framerate is tied to the speed of the game, so that hasn't been fixed yet, although I don't think it can. Also, the ability to pause is still not there, in offline mode. Just having the game beside me and writing this post I was busted while just sitting there, I wasn't even driving! The cops were not after me before this either, why the hell are they ALWAYS after me, even if I'm not speeding and parked! This was a bad design choice, and you can read the many reviews on Metacritic about not being able to pause (and yes I realize that many of the other 0 reviews are trolls, but not being able to pause a racing game is a legitimate concern).

Thank you for trying to fix the issues EA, but still a bit more work is needed, and I think since I at least pre-ordered the game (as many did, giving you money on an untested product) and many others have done extensive testing for you for FREE, you should, in good faith, continue to work on the issues and improve this game, since it could be a decent game with more work. Please!
