Would it be ok to use the extra options mod to remove the other racers when trying to do times in sprint? (Video about the mod below)

Also, my NFSU goes dark when changing from the menu to the race and vice versa, how can I fix this?

1. Nope, not allowed.
2. Change resolution to 800x600 in ingame graphic settings. (This won't interfere with Widescreen Fix)
