I recently posted this in the random questions thread, but didn't feel the replies answered the problem to my satisfaction, so here goes again.

I remember when I first started playing HD, at the start of the race all the ships became ghosts after the countdown. This I thought was part of the programing, to enable a clean getaway from the line. I have noticed recently though that my ship is now solid straight away, while all the other ships still seem ghost like.

I seem to be making a habit of getting bounced off the track or hitting anything that is there because of this . I feel that I am getting the rough end of the stick with this one. The playing field as it were, is not level anymore.

Anyone else suffering this problem or are you a ghost at the start. I would love to know what is happening here and is there anyway i can get my ghost back.
