    A plugin is always possible, the issue is really maintaining it once created, particularly if there is no telemetry API and frequent game updates, as they will break the plugin.

    The current version of Forza does have a lot of on screen telemetry available.
    So a plugin would not be too hard I think.

    But it is best to wait for them to be done updating the game before a MemHook plugin is created.
    For the reasons that @noorbeast mentions.
