Is it just me or is the spare tire on the back larger than the tires on the actual car?

I had to have a look 
I see what you’re saying but think it’s just a wonky perspective issue thing. Getting down low in photo mode and swinging around between the spare and a rear wheel they look the same size at the right angle.
Spare tyre is closer to camera unless you use photo mode. That’s why it looks bigger. Perspective is a thing. For that same reason IRL sun looks same size as moon (if you look through filter) even though it’s much bigger.

I am aware of how perspective works. I was moving the camera around the car in Forzavista mode right after I bought it and that’s when it bugged me, but I wasn’t sure if it was an optical illusion. I’m pretty sure it’s NOT an illusion on a couple of more modern off-road pickups with that Forza rally spare tire upgrade for the back.
But of more importance now is what that picture is from. At first I thought it might be Pertwee’s Doctor explaining something to Tommy in Planet of the Spiders…
Father Ted. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Don’t know how well it travels though.

If it was me setting up that blower Bently or the Mercedes SSK, I would sure as heck leave that spare in the pit for a three-lapper, to save the weight. If I blow a tire on the circuit I’ll walk back to the pit and send the crew out for the car.
