I am working right now something similiar...a 15 car Silvia Sisters grid(all on 533PP, but with quite different tuning ways to get there) with five extra cars: an overpowered police car(650PP), an engine swapped Beat(on par with the Silvias, that guy that shows up to races without beeing invited ), a Toyota Alphard and a Toyota Tundra(around 490PP) and the Ambulance...Does anyone else have a whole subsection of their garage devoted to "pedestrian" cars for use in custom races? I have multiple versions of:
R53 Mini Cooper
Suzuki Swift
Toyota Crown
Toyota Hi-Ace Ambulance
VW Polo
Each one is gimped down (via racing transmission) to a slightly different, sub 80mph speed such that they will spread out nicely on one of the Tokyo circuits and provide an approximation of road traffic. I've tried and tried to combine this with a Shutoku-style grid of actual racers, but the AI is incapable of passing slow traffic consistently. So instead I'll just make time-limit races with just the ped cars and me and enjoy the ambiance.
I will report more, when I am really happy with it...but it's already one of my favorite custom grids...not for realistic sim racing, more for lots of arcade-ish fun...
