Read the FAQ in the readme for that
@RealRaptoReX
Me and a some of other users took the muscle route and didnt have such issues. Did you have any other mods? Also the ideal thing is to complete every race and not leave any incomplete races

The features you want to see will be present in NFSCO mod. However, that may not be compatible with this mod.

Rebalanced AI just would be good in drift races, if you can do it, I know it wasn't in the text files. Oh Hard AI is disabled? I didn't notice it then. Also must've slipped my eye that i can disable the pursuit strength, sortry about that.

I took the muscle car route, beat angie first, then kenji and wolf after that. After the 3rd territory of darius, nothing new unlocked, so i had to press f5 to enable new races and those then unlocked new races properly.
