No, it is NOT horsepower. It’s a points system that an update a while back added that takes into account the power to weight ratio, and puts it in a simple number form (because before, the server options were limited to a max. horsepower and min. weight, but a light car with, say, 400HP is going to have a much higher PP rating than a heavier car with the same HP; the PP system allows for more freedom and fairness in those cases, so a 1000kg car with 400HP might have the same PP value as a 1400kg car with 550HP, since both, in theory, should have about the same acceleration and speed. It was this feature that made it possible to allow freedom of choice in their car, as opposed to last time where I had to force the same model/car for the race).

I believe that when you choose a car, on that car’s screen, you should see the PP in the lower left (I don’t remember exactly where). They are also located on the list of your cars as well. Like it should say “500 PP” or “PP 500″ or something like that
