I play strictly solo and I want the option to use normal names for Drivatars instead of gamertags. Nothing kills immersion than seeing xXxUrMumFat420xXx take the podium after finishing the race. Anything, any generic name would work.
Thank you.
I think it would help recognising drivers you are competing with if they had simpler, easier to recognise names like L.Hamilton instead of other random players gamertags.
They aren’t even guaranteed to have your actual friends names’ and are most of the time just random players.
When they originally did the “Drivatar” thing the gamertags at least made sense. Now it just seems weird.
Option to toggle realistic names would be great. Bring back M. Rossi, P. Muller etc.
It is just ugly to see random gamertags in single player.

In can be very good to have name for AI. They can put some reference like E.Brown for a DMC-12 driver (It’s just an example)
I really dislike the awful drivatar names used in the single player campaign.
I used to love the old days of MS2-4 where we got to race against mssrs Rossi and co.
Please bring back opponents with real names, or have option to choose, to improve immersion of the game. Thanks.
Funny thing is that in trailer for one of the previous updates there can be seen normal names above cars racing.
0:55 - obviously it can be done. Why it is not in the game, I don’t know.

Could we please have the option to switch the AI names to real names in place of the current use gamertags in single player?
I would think it would be quite a simple thing to do as the names already exist if the game is started in offline mode.
It would be such a boost to see the like of Rossi and Davis return and boost the sense of immersion.

I support it! Moreover, it would be best if each race class had fixed driver names and each driver had a unique AI grade/driving style.

I would like real names that are also related to nationalities, along with the flag and emblem of the car manufacturer
I believe it would add more immersion.

Yeah id be happy with that idea, and theres some good ideas stated above, but the thing is from launch in offline mode and in this very playtest, the names are already there, why cant we have the option? how hard can it be to implement a simple toggle in the hud options so we have the choice to have whats already available, its not as if it would require much in the way of extra coding.
Agree with that idea! Real names and nationalities would reinforce the immersion. And of course, the ability to not only name our opponents, but also our own driver himself. They should make an option to activate real names and nationalities in solo mod, and another one to activate drivatar name in multiplayer.
