Off road racing game
Durch die wunderschönen Schadensmodelle und Strecken wäre XXXXX prädestiniert gewesen, einen motivierenden, spassigen Multiplayerpart zu bieten, doch leider mussten wir feststellen dass wir zwar mit den angepriesenen 100 Gegnern gleichzeitig auf einer Strecke fahren dürfen, aber sehen tun wir diese keineswegs. Nicht einmal als *Ghost Modell*. Es wird nur gegen die Zeit der Kontrahenten gefahren. Schade.
It can't be as simple as *Ghost Model* can it? That just doesn't sit right with me? Is anyone up on their video game terminology?

It's got to be something with 'ghost', however this is understood by the writer. I think your suggestion of 'version' for 'Modell' is promising. Alternatively, you could consider 'simulation' (as suggested on your other question).

Note from asker:
| I understood this to mean that, you can have a "ghost version" of your car drive in the race, but you aren't actually participating. Your car is transparent. Does this sound about right? If so, I don't think this term is applicable. |
| I want to avoid using version, because there is a program for computers called "Ghost Version". This could cause confusion. |

mock model
since not the "real thing" is expected, mock model sounds more appropriate than "gost model"
Something went wrong...
