I am not opposed to the idea of characters with disabilities in fiction because characters like MGS' Big Boss, Bentley from Sly Cooper, and X-Men's Professor X are proof that you can make great characters and stories by showing how they overcome their limitations.
However, this is a racing game with little to no story, which makes this inclusion confusing for me.
There have existed deaf racing drivers like Kitty O'Neal and the young British karter Caleb McDuff, but they are rather rare examples, and the Forza fanbase has complained about many things like a lack of interior customization or the ability to earn a grid position, but they have never complained about a lack of representation.

Yes, my question is why there are avatars at all?
