Heres an idea, for the truely hopless sim racer:
Live For Spectating.
The "player" can watch Live For Speed races that normally go on, but are either spectating in the grandstands or the grass. Shift+S will warp you to the bathrooms (the fuel gauge can work also for bladder capcity!), V will give you a view of your pasty self slowing turning red from being too long out in the sun, F9 will show your degree of drunkeness, and of course, you can talk talk talk with all the other spectators and bench race, also.
