Forza 7's high FOV probably plays a role in the presentation of the track. Then again, I'm not so sure of how big a role that the FOV plays because, turns tend to feel loser with a high FOV setting. Saying that the turns feel tighter puzzles me. In my experience the turns on FM7's Nordschleife are nowhere near as tight as they are on AC, RF2 or R3E. I always chalked that up to the differences in wheel settings, FOV and, Physics.
Time to hit the road.
Take care!
