Forced. Homologation

What is going on with this? My Xbox had to be replaced and after some time away I come back and I cannot just free play a race in my favorite car with no drivatars without forced homologation.

What on earth is the point of this? I want to compete against nothing but my own previous times. I don’t want my car’s build and driving characteristics changed. I’m playing in free play precisely so I don’t need to worry about this sort of thing.

Pretty frustrated with this asinine change and I don’t understand it in the least. If I were playing multiplayer or cared at all about leader boards it might make sense, but for me it’s purely annoying.

Was never changed
Set the car class as “any car” and not a preset class
It was always this way too
