It is visually disconcerting when you see a single car's headlight field and nothing from the other cars!

I would like to see the other cars' headlight fields show up, even though we may not be "focused" on that car in the replay...

For example, the first photo below is focused on my car, the Lotus Elise...

The next is focused on the Mercedes, two cars behind...

There is no discrimination between premium and standard cars so I'm happy with that but, why, as in the first photo, are some of the cars in the dark? And where are the shadows of the two cars in front of the Mercedes in the second photo?

I would like to see this fixed for the photographers among us!
 
Yeah, it'd be like watching Return Of The Jedi with only Luke Skywalker's light sabre showing up and leaving you wondering how he got his hand cut off...!
 
Light and shadows take a lot of resources to calculate, so that's probably why you only see the lights from one car and also why that light doesn't cast any shadows.

Maybe the PS4 will add the extra resources to make it doable? Does anyone know if Project Cars casts shadows from the headlights?
