Assetto CorsavsForza Motorsport 7
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Assetto Corsa
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Hardcore racing sim where execution is everything.
Forza Motorsport 7
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Consistent lap-time precision supported by tuning and racing-line study.
Assetto Corsa leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Forza Motorsport 7 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Demanding wheel control, braking, throttle precision
Forza Motorsport 7
Braking points, throttle control and racing lines are everything
Reads2 vs 2
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Setup tuning, car-track combo mastery
Forza Motorsport 7
Tuning setups and line study reward engineering effort
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
