Race car livery options instead of individual models

When buying a race car off the autoshow in all Forza Motorsport Titles, every single time there has only been one livery option. What if there were more? For example, I could buy a Corvette C7.R off the autoshow with the option to pick between the IMSA GTLM liveries (#3, #4) and the Le Mans liveries (#63, #64) off the bat without someone having to make it. As a brand new feature for Forza Motorsport, it might be something to look into.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I never understood why they don’t do that because the performance of those separate race cars doesn’t differ at all

It’s intentional in order to pad out the car count and make every race car a unique choice for AI.

I suppose it is too difficult to make the AI pick between different liveries of one race car, especially in “the most advanced racing game to date”.

Isn’t this a licensing issue? I imagine that race teams will want their livery to show up as the main one in the thumbnail in the Autoshow.

It’s a solvable issue, loads of games do the “multiple liveries on a single model” approach.

Turn 10 and Playground Games have never done that though, they have their intentions and reasons behind “duplicating” cars.

I don’t agree with those reasons (because it makes tunes and liveries harder to manage) but it is what it is.
