Rivals Mode... ghosts?

[Kinna39]

anyone know if the Rivals mode has ghosts of other drivers on the leaderboards?

Saw a stream yesterday from Paraglieber (?) and I saw 3 ghosts while he was doing the weekly rivals. And it was kind of funny. However he wasn't sure how to select a specific ghosts. It looks a little bit confusing.

I think it is similar to the Driveclub systems. Both online and this Rivals mode very resamples that.

Ghost are drivers near your time.
Can you turn off ghost?

I think the three ghosts are from the same opponent, each one for one of his lap on the Pace Setter event (3 lap average).

Nope, you get one ghost for each of three rivals, it even has an in-game achievement and trophy for beating all three in a single session.

I've not found a way of turning them off, which I must admit does put me off rivals a little as I bloody hate racing against ghosts, just let me see them on the mini-map.

So what's the point for it to show three different ghosts? Visibility is really bad in some corners. Let's hope that they will allow us to turn them off.

Three different times to try and beat, which gives you more chance of beating at least one, but I agree it makes the track messy.

I actually think that in hot lap all three ghosts are indeed of three different drivers, but in pace setters they are three ghosts of the same person. Yesterday on Jerez one ghost would always start on pace with me while two others raced into the distance. What I think is the first one was from lap one with slow pace from the rolling start. Two others are from the subsequent, faster laps. But it's just a theory, I may be wrong of course.

You may be wrong. I know the daily with the Jag had 3 ghosts from different people. I know because all had a different livery. At the start screen you can see 3 different times from different players. The ghosts are from them. At least the Jag ones were the case.

Mustang at Laguna Seca is the same way.

That is a hot lap event. Of course there won't be 3 ghosts from the same person. He was talking about peace setter.
