Why FWD Matters for Braking in Forza Horizon 5

Front-Wheel Drive pulls the car from the front axle, creating inherent stability and predictable understeer. For braking, FWD cars often punch above their weight in lower PI classes. They're forgiving for new drivers and competitive in hot hatch and rally events.
