I've got a weird one.  I recently bought the Steam version of the game, the Plitch cheats seem to work fine, but as soon as I make any modifications to the car, either Performance or Visual, the speed rating of the car drops to 100.  Most of the races have a speed rating wall so if your rating is too low it locks the races.


Now I also have used the ***** cheat engine so I'm not sure which is causing the issue, but this is a pretty serious issue for someone trying to go through the story.

I'm not positive, but I think you can find a mod on ****** that changes race ratings. It's been a while since I last checked, though, so I could be wrong.

Had the same issue, figured out it was the Opponents Max 1st Gear cheat, for some reason it also effects the player when customizing. Don't know if it actually effects the performance, will need to test further but a temporary fix I found is disabling the cheat, upgrading, then re-enabling the cheat. If someone can figure out if turning it back on drops how your car performs even with upgrades that would be great.

Thanks for letting us know!

Are you playing the game on Steam or EA?

And are you using any additional mods or other trainer softwares for the game (These can often interfere with each other, which is why I'm asking)?
