ABC and Ghost cars
Until you finish the A series level, you can only see the A, B, and C level series. After you finish the A series, the S series will appear.
The ghost car is enabled when a penalty is being applied to that car (for instance, after the car takes a shortcut through a corner), the car will be ghosted during the 4 seconds in which the penalty is imposed. A car will be ghosted and the penalty disabled when a driver makes an unexpected move that would cause other cars to hit him or would cause him to crash into other drivers (for instance, when a car gets into a corner WAY too fast and the game calculates that he will run off track), the car will ghost out as it goes theough the other drivers and runs off into the kitty litter.
A car will also ghost out if it loses traction under heavy throttle or gets sideways in a corner so that it does not impact other drivers.
However, I've found that the application of the penalty disabling feature is sometimes erratic at best. I have T-Boned cars that got sideways in a corner.
