Before starting a race event in Forza Motorsport, you may be required to do practice laps. If you would rather skip straight to the actual racing in this game, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.
Why you need to practice
According to the development team at Turn 10 Studios, practice laps are designed to help you learn the track. The game will also reward you by giving you credits and Car Points (CP)/Car Experience Points (CXP) by successfully completing these practice runs.
How to skip practice laps
If you don’t mind missing out on the credits and Car XPs, then you need to do the following:
1. During practice, open the Pause Menu. If you are playing with an Xbox controller or racing wheel, you can do so by pressing the Menu button.
2. In the Pause Menu, select Exit.
3. Next, you need to select the Skip Practice option.
4. You will be asked if you want to skip practice as doing so means that you will miss the opportunity to earn credits and car experience.
You need to select Yes to continue.
Afterwards, you should be able to jump straight into the racing event.
