So as it turns out, my graphics flashing onscreen, texture popping and artifacts may be an iRacing specific issue after all.
Last night I played a 2000 ticket round in Battlefield 4 which took an hour and is far more graphically intensive than iRacing. I had no issues whatsoever and the game ran like butter the entire time on a full 64 player server.
I've also spent time in Assetto Corsa with 24 cars gridded and graphics cranked to the point I was below 40 FPS in SLI (that's a lot of power). Also, no signs of trouble in either ETS2 and Skyrim.
Searching online I found this post with an attached YouTube Video that demonstrates exactly what I'm seeing:

Apparently this can happen sometimes especially when iRacing performs updates as they have recently. I'm not sure what the updates were but I do know the site was offline and I had to update my cars and tracks which is suspiciously close to when the issue started.
The fix is to run the iRacing "Configure Your Hardware" Tool, the same one you ran when you first installed iRacing. Just click the Configure Button, a window will popup suggesting you allow iRacing to automatically configure your Hardware or choose minimum settings.
I'd choose automatic just to be safe.
What this does is re-writes your renderer.ini file (and perhaps others) essentially giving you a clean display install.
I've already run the fix and will report later today whether or not it works.
Also, I'll be re-installing my SLI setup just to confirm after we've Practiced for a few hours or so.
