Better driving skills.

Like what? In Driveclub you have to know how to take a corner, what the conditions are on that corner, what sort of surface is either side of that corner, when to reduce speed, break, accelerate out of that corner, what line another driver might take on the same corner while you are considering your options, when to put your foot down and when to play it safe, to name but a few. In Horizon you have to hope someone has a slower car than you, avoid the trees, hope the wheat doesn't hold you up, hope another driver hits that tree you avoided, to name but a few. One of those is a skilled based racer and the other is a driving game.

Like I said before 75% of the races only take place on roads so most of the stuff you mentioned doesn't come into play and on top of that you need driving skills to avoid major obstacles like trees and the like. You can't just cut corners left and right because every course be it all roads or a mix of on road and off road has numerous check points you need to drive through.

So basically you're taking the skill based typical on road racing elements and combining them with the strategy and exhilaration of offroad racing, without any speed penalties or countdowns for actually you know, racing.
No wonder it scored so much better.
