Ghost car simply means he had a network connection problem, whether intential or not.

There was a trick where you could minimize the game for 2-3 seconds right at the start of the race. When you came back you would be a ghost. They have partially fixed the loophole in one of the last updates. Now you usually don't come back as a ghost (90% of the time), but you do still get the time advantage. If you minimize for 3+ seconds you are kicked out of the race. But you can minimze for 2-3 seconds and go back in many times to let the field get way ahead of you. The time lost while minimized doesn't count, it's like pausing a TT.

This lets you, in essence, race the other players time rather than the physical player. I used to do this simply because I was sick of those numb skulls who treated the race as bumper cars or a demolition derby! Also, the glitches that make cars jump back and forth made it impossible to time a pass.

HOWEVER... top, no assists players will still beat you! I found that out when I got a chance to race some top 10 guys back in the ghost days. They took the corners like the top guys in WTTT. Their drive off would outpace me.
