hmmm
luckily i found a way...
just make a LAN game and pick any map any vehicle ya want... do what ya want (still limited to track limits) but you and some friends can enable collision and have a go at messing around with any vehicle ya choose
...
and when you do this if you normally play on high settings(i do) once you go to this LAN mode the graphics SUCK!!! they magically lower the graphics,probably making the graphics worse then ANY game i have played in a while.

That sucks, the fact free roam isn't there is already a big bummer. But if you even can't choose a specific race you liked before and have to start all over again.
