A Racing License, in Forza Horizon, could be the thing that allows more complex homologation requirements than just "PI" and /or Car Type.
Creator (and PG) would create / use predefined Racing Licenses that would create a well defined set of meta requirements that could be applied to racing series in a repeatable way.
For example, a "Group B" racing licence would define that engine displacement can range from 2000cc to 4000cc for NA or 1428 to 2857cc for T, with a min weight limit of 820kg as well as specific wheel width limits and other car type requirements. In terms of game balance it might additionally be desired to set the PI for a License to 750 or some number midway in a PI class, because this gives an opportunity to use in races a number of cars that are otherwise entirely un utilised.
As this needs to be a discussion:
This really revolves around the problem of the many cars in my garage that have peak performance nowhere near PI 700, 800, 900 or 998. These class breakpoints actually seem somewhat arbitrary, and a general way for creators and PG to create race series that have a theme of some kind would be a lot more interesting than the current very limited system that only lets you pick PI and one other filter at a time.
