Hey everyone, what car was the AI driver "Kappa" driving in this week's Main Stage mode?

In my case, this "placeholder" Mustang appeared, but since all of the AI in this week's Main Stage mode are using some pretty unusual cars, I'm having trouble figuring out whether this Mustang's participation in the race is just a bug, or whether this car, which shouldn't normally appear, is being intentionally included as an Easter egg because this is a week themed around developers, "Beat the Devs."
 
I've beaten them on only 3 of the 9 events. The rally raid bike one is just impossible for me. That said, the platinum seems really do-able. I'm currently sitting around the low-1000s.

Watching my cousin play the summit, and its so obvious the devs have had to curate their races they must have full part sets of their choice. Ive seen clear examples of them having higher grip, acceleration, nitrous and rocket. The community is bound to be better at the game than the devs themselves, we certainly play it more, no wonder they've had some buffs. You could say the elephant in the room is a skill issue on our part (could be), im seeing things that suggest otherwise though.
 
It seems like he gets a better start off the line than I do I have my gears on long with no traction control too.
You're not alone in suspecting the devs are cheating, but I didn't see anything odd when driving against them myself, and someone makes a video here where he matches their actions and his car behaves the same as theirs:



That's exactly what I saw when doing the events myself.

Maybe a lot of people aren't aware that the boost is more powerful, the more boost is in the tank?

There will be devs who chose to work in the driving game industry because they already enjoyed driving games. In the Forza Motorsport 7 bounty hunter rivals, Jonk was better than the vast majority of players and I think he might have been in the region of 50 years old at the time.

Anyone who thinks beating the devs in this Motorfest Summit was tough should have had a go at beating Josef Newgarden in FM7:



34th out of 57k players and I beat him by 0.003 seconds.

I saw that too. Didn't know if it was intentional or a bug. Even the character KAPPA is just a silhouette in the end race screen.

Age is not an issue it will be genetics, games garner all kinds of nervous system interactions and brain processes which in gaming terms might give you more frames per second for nuanced control. I take my hat off to you those traits will be what they look for in aviation circles. I suspect Ive hit my talent wall and spat the dummy abit lol
