Only white cars showing in multiplayer

Peeps,
Don't know if this has been asked or answered but here goes.
Joining MP now on certain servers I get either some or all cars showing with white schemes, is this due to an update or is it server settings please??

That's most likely because the other drivers are using a custom skin that you haven't installed on your pc.

Mine is white as well though......and I think I have that one installed at least

Where is the option to show a random default in game skin when you don't have the custom skin installed when driving online.
To drive around with a pack of white looks rather bland to me, maybe a oversite but it needs something doing about it. if only for the eyes..

If yours is white too, it means you are joining an open (non-booking) server whose host has not configured car skins correctly.
Think of open servers as not taking your car to the track but as going there and renting one. If the owner decided to paint them all white, that's what you're gonna drive!

Have to say I liked Rupes idea of random default skins in place of customs, at least as a temporary fix!
