Looking to race and show off some cars

I don't think the AI is that bad . Your better off using a car thats PI is a bit lower than the fastest AI cars . You'll have a better race that way. You always get contact in racing , have any of you ever seen the WTCC or the BTCC ? Have a look at those
races if you don't believe me . The only race classes that has no contact are the open wheel classes due to the fragile cars. Sadly this game doesn't have them. If your worried about AI running you off the track and nudging you in the corners then you need
to watch some real racing.

And to top it off , I see some of the cars that I can't get to qualify racing against me .

do you run races with your club? if so i might be interested as the club i am currently in doesnt seem to run actual races they just like to set up long drag races at LeMans and show off there cars

Guys 'flashy car' say's it all, it's the ghost car, we all have a 'flashy car' to race against in Single Player. Sure the image looks odd but everything else said makes it very clear its the ghost car. It's supposed to make you race faster as you've got
something to compete against. I'm sure you could turn it off if you wanted.

atleast you get credits alot faster in this game, every race theres some manufacturer bonus, or something like that. You also rarely even need to use credits, with the game giving you pretty much every car after each level, and after a few races.... performance
parts are free for that car... i could race 3 cars from one manufacturer and maybe get to 25-50 percent off with dozens of races.
