While some humans prepare to purchase Forza Motorsport 6 (opens in new tab) later this month, perhaps thinking of whether an umbrella should go with them to the shops, the computer-driven drivers in the game are still becoming aclimatized to the rain. According to the game’s developers, players may witness …
