Not sure if this has been mentioned (prolly has, but didnt find anything on it) but it would be nice imo to be able to download replays/hotlaps/wr and race in them,
like download the WR for X track and X car then try to race against them. either as having the replay as ghost car or something,
and i believe the ghostcar mod doesnt do this.
what do you guys think?

Well you can download the replays and watch them, which is certainly helpful as you can see where the good lines are and such. If your idea was able to be done, it would have to be against a ghost car to cut out any drafting, and plus having to pass an actual car and take a different line would slow your time anyways. I just watch the WR replays a few times to study the lines and braking points, write down the split times, and then take off on my own hotlapping.

check out the unofficial mods, there is a ghostcar mod...

you'll need the ghostcar WR-grabber patch...
only found the zip on my hdd, but the program should explain itself...

oh so, there is a patch for the ghostcar mod to have the ghost car be the wr replay?i didnt know
i always thought the ghost car mod just made a ghost of YOUR previous lap.
