Mastering track lines and boost routes rewards study
Forza Horizon 3
Tuning, car choice, and route knowledge
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.
