Technical aspects

Yet another aspect Forza Motorsport created anew from scratch are its visuals. Compared to the previous game, this one stands out primarily due to ray tracing, providing realistic reflections on windows and cars. The game overall is much more detailed. Vehicles suffer realistic damages during races, ranging from minor scratches to clearly visible dents. Yet another new detail is that cars get progressively filthier during the race.
