  2. Forza Motorsport PC FAQ – gamescom 2023 - last accessed on 2023-10-12
    "Q: Why does Forza Motorsport on PC require an SSD? A: Forza Motorsport loads between tracks quickly and this is made possible with the increased speeds of SSDs. To ensure consistency in loading multiplayer races for all players, an SSD is required to play."
  3. Verified by User:SargeCassidy on 2023-10-12
    Tested with a Intel Core i5-6600K. The game will give you a AP101 error on launch, but it can be ignored. The game did not run into any major issues, even with two physical cores less than the minimum processor listed.
