GTR2002: ghost car MOD possible?

Some of you may think it's unrealistic, but I'd love to see a ghost car in GTR2002. It would make hotlapping more fun and endurable, IMO. Could something like that be done in a MOD or a patch? I was thinking, if the lap-data can be recorded for telemetry purposes, it may as well be used to send a car around the track in realtime. If you could make that car semi-transparent, and turn off the collision somehow, the rest would be a piece of cake... right? Any one else like to see a ghost car in GTR2002? (apart from the question if it would be possible) Ice D

I'd like to see AI cars in multiplayer. If a couple of people want a race it's a bit sparce! Andi. "Ice D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0h_T9.100068$[email hidden]...

What this means is you pick 5 ghosts with drivers of differing styles, but similar lap times. What you learn in a lap following these ghosts about lines and braking is potentially awesome. I'm betting that Racer will be the first game to do this. Come on Ruud!!!! Regards all, istoff

I agree that having a ghost car around can help you to improve your driving, that's my experience. It really pushes me to improve, because every corner will be a small contest in itself. I currently have AI realism set to 1.0, and AI driver agression to 100%, and I'm having a hard time keeping up with the other cars in a race. That's a fun challenge right now, but it would be nice to also have a ghost of my best lap in Test Day. Racing against 5 ghosts at the same time is a novel idea to me, but I wouldn't mind to give it a try. Strictly for educational purposes of course! Ice D

I was also thinking how great it would be to have ghost cars to help improve my lap times. "Ice D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0h_T9.100068$[email hidden]...
