yeah truth be told most of the time that racing line item is not showing the fastest line. Also I hate the poles too but it adds to the challenge. I suggest just avoiding those tracks if they upset you that badly.

As many can testify, i'm well know to be one who hit almost everything on city maps/tracks: poles, road signs, hydrants and so on 
so that's the reason because i don't like too much urban tracks (where usally i'm not so fast for that reason).
But anyway, i can agree with TorQueHQ and Khrono Fujiwara:
1) do you a favor and disable (remove from trunk) the racing lines, they can be useful just the first time on the track, but then they teach you nothing useful. If you want to go fast, you need to pratice and find the fastest lines for your driving style and your car. Also during a race with ghost off, you have to improvise because you can find another car on the best line, or you need to use another line to try an overtake etc, so you need to find the better line for the situation, something you can't learn from the game racing lines
2) with pratice, you're not only improving your lines, how to adapt etc, you start to know every corner of every map/track, so you can remember where a dangerous object is and how go fast in that point without hitting anything, another thing that the game racing lines didn't teach to you.

Indeed, that's true, also i don't know what car he usually drives with but i must say that kawana is the best and yet the worst car to drive in city roads as it has a very low clearance from the floor and so it hits anything that is higher than 2cm.As many can testify, i'm well know to be one who hit almost everything on city maps/tracks: poles, road signs, hydrants and so on

i think @racer8510 got the idea.. road objects are there for the reason he is complaining, also fire hydrants annoys me when they get under the car and there goes my position.. but yeah, it's how it is.. and i like it.

Actually, you need to go to "Practice" mode and then choose SF Marina. From there, you can test the track and practice with it as you like.
You're welcome :3

Racing Line -what i always use- is good only at braking zone, so help to memorize braking points, mainly at personally new map, when never drove at. I like it and use too

Not running into poles and trees would be a start.
