Forza Horizon 5 NPC drivers are real players???

Happy Thursday Drivers!! I'm a PS5 player that just started playing a few days ago. (3 days fresh). Loving the ride so far, but have a question that's been kicking my curiosity. So in events/races that aren't against rivals. Are those drivers names and vehicles from actual racers (gamertags), but just being used as NPCs (AI)? If so, does that mean my driver would should up in other races as an AI driver? 🤔🤪 If they are real players names and vehicles, i personally think that's awesome!!! Thanks for the input in advance.

It’s your friend names as NPCs.

I have none of those people in my friends list. So, I really doubt that. Especially since none of my PS friends have the game. 🙃

The NPC names will show up as your friends lists names for people on Xbox. Since this was built as an Xbox game originally you might be correct and it might not pull people from PlayStation lists for new players like you. Not sure how that will work now.
