(All data from ign; motorsport’s numbers seem rather illogical 
)
Gran turismo 2 has split screen multiplayer. Motorsport has online multiplayer that works ‘most’ of the time
Motorsport finally has brought in tire strategy with different compounds in one race available but in gran turismo 2 you could run different compounds front and rear
In gran turismo 2 most vehicles have custom race modifications that add downforce tuning. These are available after level 3 (if i remember correctly) weight reduction. (Almost) every vehicle has its own custom race modifications
In motorsport most vehicles have the same forza aero kit to provide downforce tuning. Making every car look similar and usually look… not great (to keep the moderators happy)
Gran turismo 2 you only may choose manufacturer colours and cannot be repainted once you acquire it (except for apply race modifications which alter paint)
Motorsport has the same archaic paint system theyve been using for 15 years; and yet somehow this is the worst version of it yet where somehow black wasnt black, and now that black is in fact black now white isnt white… Like its the same as the last 10 games… How is it worse somehow?
Gran turismo 2 had 181 rims; easily visible as your car slowly rotates so you may see how your car looks with them and in decent lighting.
Forza motorsport has 308 rims; barely visible, seen from a horrible angle and unable to move the camera. The lighting is atrocious and you can barely make out the details of most wheels. Also many wheels have the brake calipers glitched through them on multiple vehicles
Gran turismo 2 has a used car dealership
Motorsport has a ‘balanced economy’ in which the pricing of cars seem totally nonsensical but im not really complaining because i can buy 5 of the worlds rarest cars for only 2 million.
Gran turismo 2 left you put parts on your cars without having to drive them for 2 hours first
Forza motorsport is the world’s first (and after its reception; almost certainly last) CarPG
Gran turismo 2 had license test (i hated these)
Motorsport (thankfully) does not
