Forza is not a racing SIM. Project Cars is at the moment the only racing SIM on console. That will change next year with the arrival of Assetto Corsa though.

console games just have had to be too accessible to be true sims. This is at least partly due to their need to be easily playable with a controller.

This has been common knowledge to sim racers for a very long time.

Project CARS isn't much of a sim either not compared to Assetto Corsa and other PC titles anyway.

That's true, but it's head and shoulders above anything else on console.

You say FM isnt a Sim but..

FM6 is helping racers use the new Ford GT?

If that doesnt say Simulation then i dont know what else to say. Why would they use an Arcade racer for training?

 

Also its been noted by many reviewers

Heres a quote from Gamers Association

*Gran Turismo has since become a series lauded for its long, (sometimes) questionable development cycles, but beloved for its attention to detail and realism upon release. (This is apparent in its 70+ million total units sold). Unfortunately, in the 15 years it has been trying to perfect the driving sim formula, another series has swooped in and presented quite the challenge with a shorter dev cycle and more robust ideas overall.*

 

Its ok to have an opinion but if your not linking any form of proof then i dont see your point. Its nothing more then You said, he said debate. Forza Motorsport is a Simulator Racer and i have given you examples above. It competes with the best in the industry in that genre and has sometimes even out preformed them.
