FlatOut 2 Time Trial Ghosts is a plugin that adds a ghost in time trial mode in FlatOut 2 and simultaneously removes all bots and destructible objects on the track, so nothing prevents you from setting fast laps.

The mod does not change the game's text, interface, or voice acting. It is compatible with all language versions.
As already mentioned, this plugin adds a ghost to FlatOut 2. There are two types of ghosts:
Standing start ghost - shows your time for the first lap starting from a standstill.
Regular lap ghost - shows your time for standard laps without a standing start.
Your best lap times and ghost data are always saved even after exiting the game, making it easy to resume later and improve your results.
However, at the moment, this plugin has one subjective drawback: the ghost’s transparency does not decrease as it gets closer to your car, which can sometimes be distracting. A rare bug has also been observed where the ghost temporarily stops being transparent and slightly nudges you or vice versa.
Otherwise, the plugin works fine. It is recommended to use it together with the ZMenu FlatOut 2 mod, which lets you configure single races - from the number of laps to disabling damage and nitro - which is very useful for setting your world records!
How to install a mod FlatOut 2 Time Trial Ghosts
Make sure you have game version 1.2 installed, as this is the only version compatible with this plugin (exe file size: 2,990,080 bytes).
If you have the Steam version of the game, to get this old version, open the game properties in the Steam client, go to the "Betas" tab, and select the appropriate beta version. The game will then automatically download the required version.
Extract the archive and copy the files into the game folder.
Launch the game and start any race; now you will have a ghost to compete against instead of AI opponents.
You can edit the file FlatOut2TimeTrialGhosts_gcp.toml to adjust the settings as you like:
ed = true # Set this to false to disable the time trial mode & ghosts, useful if you only want the input display
ghost_visuals = 2 # 0 - Always show the entire car, 1 - always show the car as a ghost, 2 - only make the car a ghost when near it
disable_props = false # Removes all dynamic objects from the map
nitro_option = 1 # 0 - none (0х), 1 - normal (1х), 2 - double (2х), 3 - infinite
show_best_times = true # Displays the best lap times you've ever achieved for a track on the top right in-game
show_best_times_in_session = true # Displays the best lap times you've achieved in the current session on the top right in-game
load_mismatched_replays = false # Loads replays with matching names even if they were actually created using different settings (e.g. nitro, upgrades, car, etc.)
Extras:
view_replays = false # View & spectate replays for a track, including inputs
always_show_input_display = false # Always show the replay input display, even when driving
