How to turn off car damage in Forza Horizon 6?

Question

Turning off car damage (and removing dents)

Forza Horizon 6 isn’t built like a hardcore sim, and the game lets you disable vehicle damage entirely. When the setting is enabled, cars can pick up visible dents and bumps during races.

When you turn the option off, the game stops applying that kind of damage model to your car. As a result, the visual effects that would normally show dents and impacts don’t appear, letting you keep your vehicle looking clean even if you take hits during driving.

This matters because it changes the tone of the driving experience. With damage disabled, players can focus on learning tracks, tuning cars, and running faster laps without the extra penalty of cosmetic degradation—or the distraction of having to manage a damaged look while racing.

Practical takeaway

If you want a more arcade-style experience, disable car damage.
If you prefer a more forgiving presentation, turning it off removes the visible dents and bumps after races.

No additional details were provided about where exactly the toggle lives in menus, only that the feature exists and can be used to erase the visible damage effects.
