I just bought Forza Horizon 3 yesterday and am loving it so far but I'm wondering if there is a way to turn off checkpoint flags in races? I don't recall seeing anything related to checkpoints in the Difficulty settings but perhaps it's somewhere else.
Thanks in advance.

Based on what I've read here:
As long as you keep within the checkpoints, it’s fair game.
It sounds like the checkpoints are a core mechanic and not able to be turned off. This is actually the source of a complaint in this review (cached version, original link is actually dead):
the checkpoint placement can be a little frustrating at points – where you’ll narrowly miss a checkpoint banner by inches and then be forced to restart the race – which breaks the sheer pace and momentum that Horizon champions everywhere else in the game.
Actually you're not forced to restart the race, your car position is just reset to a place before the missed checkpoint and you just go from there, without stopping the race.
