Section 114 defines racing replay capture, the racing replay viewer, GRID-style Flashback, racing-aware photo mode, ghost data, and MP4 export.

Replay Capture#

Racing replays capture per-frame input, RNG seed, and cosmetic manifest data. The replay file budget is 2 MB per five-minute race, and CI replays every captured race bit-identical through the determinism gate. This cross-references Section 62.1.

Replay Viewer#

The racing replay viewer includes a race timeline scrubber with sector splits, lap markers, and key events for overtakes, crashes, Power-Play triggers, and pickups collected. It supports per-driver track-camera lock, free-cam detached from any driver, telemetry overlay for throttle, brake, and steering, minimap, position graph, and side-by-side replay compare.

Flashback#

GRID-style Flashback pauses the race, rewinds 8 seconds, and resumes from before the mistake. Default races have 3 uses, ranked races have 0 uses, and tournament events are TO-configurable. Flashback includes a cinematic time-rewind transition, audio reverse swoosh, and HUD budget display.

Racing-Aware Photo Mode#

Race-pause photo mode cross-references Section 45.5 and includes free-cam, DOF, filters, stickers, scene editor, and preserved per-vehicle pose. Photo opportunity hooks auto-suggest overtakes, crashes, Power-Play moments, and finish-line crossings.

Ghost Data#

Ghost data export cross-references Section 62.7 and supports Time Trial and Canyon Duel runs. Exports upload to the racing ghost pool, load as opponent ghosts on any track, and support friend ghost targets.

MP4 Export#

Race replay and photo gallery MP4 export uses MoviePipeline with per-replay custom camera setup, cross-referencing Section 45.

Verification#

RacingReplayPhotoMode_V2_Contract.json, racing-replay-photo-mode.json, OnlineServices.Module automation coverage, and check-v2-racing-replay-photo-mode.py validate Section 114.
