Summary
Forza Motorsportditches the open-world formula of previous entries and returns players tocompetitive on-track racingwhich features a variety of iconic tracks. While speed isn’t everything when it comes to winning races, it is certainly still important, and as a result, cars have been classified into separate categories to ensure that racing is kept fair. The fastest cars are to be found at the upper end of the P and X classes, which feature race cars from both the World Endurance Championship and Formula One.
While each of these cars can easily exceed 200mph at top speed,few tracks will afford them the opportunity to do so. Other factors such as how fast the car can approach and turn through corners contribute to reducing overall lap time. Track-for-track, these cars are capable of achieving the fastest possible lap times around each circuit, and few other cars can match them.
