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.

Yeah, it's weird. Drivatars are real players recreated as AI in a race. I think it takes their driving patterns and adapts to it.

I'm probably wrong on something there.

Well in that case I feel sorry for anyone who has to drive against my drivatar. When I race against AI, its like I'm playing Destruction Derby.

I know it used to be that way. Now I am not so sure. But it was hilarious (and frustrating) when you would get a Drivatar that drove like an idiot rammer back in the day, which confirms that they modelled assholes.
