Often when I’m in the menu choosing car, the pictures of the cars are all shuffled wrong or there’s no pictures showing at all.
If I wait, maybe a minute. Then sometimes the pictures are starting to show. But it’s really hard to choose correct car when doing online races or games. First it takes 10-15 sec to load the car select after joining an event, then 10-15 sec to filter/sort, and after that 10-15 sec to choose car with no or wrong pictures. 7/10 times i get a [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D] car for the event. Is there a fix?

I just get in the car I intend to use before I enter the event.

I wished it worked that way. Before entering ranked adventure I choose a car in freeroam that I like, often B or A class. But almost every time I join adventyre i am forced to choose a s2 car.

How in the world does filtering/sorting take 10-15 seconds? Should take 2-3, it does on my X1S.
The list of cars you might use is probably pretty short. Set them as favorites and things shouldn’t take long at all.

I’d recommend a USB 3 external SSD. A caddy is around £10 and 240GB drive £30 or less.
Loading the garage becomes near instant, shouldn’t have to do it but since I changed I’ve never looked back.
Are you using a 240GB drive? It’s just that I noticed the other day while deleting some game demos that it says a drive must be at least 250GB to hold games, or some wording like that, maybe must be over 250GB. I’m sure a 240GB drive didn’t meet the requirement it stated. Fortunately, I got a 500GB SSD for my USB 3 caddy, but I don’t know if a 240GB would actually work.
Mine is an Adata 700 256GB drive. Haven’t seen a size restriction before but it does come up as 256GB on Google.
I have a £25 240GB sata drive arriving in a couple of days to test in an original Xbox (2002) so I’ll give it a spin in a caddy and see if it works as a game drive.
If SSD not available then a USB3 3.5 inch drive may be fine. My PC has no issues with spinning rust, just my one S that’s laggy on the internal drive.
Ok, so my cheapo drive arrived.
240GB Integral ‘performance’ drive was recognised in the caddy and I was given the option to format for games or keep as media so a 240GB drive will be fine.
Note this is not a recommendation for this drive, it has no buffer DRAM so isn’t good for high usage scenarios such as an OS drive for reasons you can Google.
I also tried a 64GB SSD and a 120GB HDD, both of these only allowed me to link as media, no option to format for games so it seems the minimum required is 240GB.
I wish those would be that cheap, here cheapest ones cost at least 100€ and paying extra 50€ gets allready 500GB so feel so useless to buy 240GB.
Try hitting the guide button if the cars don’t load right away. It usually makes them pop after a few seconds.

Is the guide button the same as the select button on a Playstation/Nintento controller?
The xbox button. I don’t think there is an equivalent on those controllers.
Same issue here. I’m constantly selecting a car that I didn’t want because the images (and sometimes even the text) won’t load until the very last second, so it’s like a bonus game of vehicular Russian roulette. This does this to my favorites as well, so that in itself isn’t even much of a help. That said, and provided I didn’t have this problem and everything loaded promptly, it would be GREAT if we could break favorites up into groups or sub-categories with customizable labels.
