I actually got this idea from playing FM2 again. I noticed anything R4 through R1, the game doesn’t allow you to upgrade the car. You can still tune the car, but the upgrades are locked. This would be a great feature to have for GT classes and other pure race classes like TCR. Balance the cars in those classes from the start and give them all adjustable parts so players can still tune the cars, but no enhancements to the power.
Absoloutely disagree, cars of different years cannot be balanced without upgrades. But if someone wants to drive the stock car (as it raced X years ago) they should be able to remove upgrades. Less freedom is never a good choice

I like the idea of pre-balanced cars.
But it need separate cars by real categories.
“Forza GT” in FM7 is a very bad exemple.
We have GT4 GT3 GT2 GTE ST in the same field 
Maybe, we can have an option in championship to block cars modifications, some kind of good balance of performance. (Not like categories in FM7, but other games have that, in ACC, all the GT3 are equivalent, no mods).
A sort of homologation without modification.
And this option can be turn off, and everybody can tune up every cars, like in FM7 actually.

That’s why I was suggesting more than one category per car or swapping categories for tags in the future Forza titles - to give devs more flexibility in grouping cars and avoid such oddities as Forza GT category (a great example BTW), where many various classes are blended and the homologation must be used for balancing races, tampering with the real performance of cars.
I’d prefer smaller categories but better corresponding with authentic classes in racing, similar to what RaceRoom Racing Experience offers (for example).
