Well I bought the General Lee from the auction with a confederate flag on the roof which some people consider racist.

Did you hire a real person or was that ingame?

In game I suspect, the option is on the screen just before the start of the race and you can choose between one who is really good and can win in an inferior car and ones which aren't as good but will win in a well speced motor.

That's always gonna be a risk a developer takes wherever they add an editor into it. It's no more racist than making an all white/black football team and naming it so in Fifa/Pro Evo, just in a case where it comes to selling it on an auction it stands out.

there is nothing Microsoft can do about it and unfortunately it's something we will have to deal with, personally it doesn't bother me, there will always be racism from both whites and blacks which is a shame, but I've come to deal with it.

Lapping the complete field, plus double lapping someone should be an achievement!

Read this over at AVF and thought it was quite funny...

I was on lap 19 of 25 in an endurance race, mile in front, and my car stopped accelarating.

I thought maybe the pad was running out of battery, so I plugged the charger cable in. However the pad was still letting me pause, and move up & down the menus, etc.

I hadn't pitted at all, so do you think I maybe ran out of petrol?

I would have thought the game would have told me if I had - but it didn't, it just sat there, doing nothing, the car wouldn't move?

Just hit level 30 last night as I completed the Silverstone endurance race and at (I think) around 150k points to level 31, I can see it being quite a slog to unlock the level 35 races and OMG HOW LONG? to make the level 40 achievement.
