Forza is a mere franchise. There are now branches to that franchise: Horizon + Motorsport. Simple!
Turn 10 did not use their existing design/developer team for Horizon. They outsourced to a British firm to design Horizon because the existing Turn 10 Forza team in Redmond supposedly "was too hung up on the importance of simulation", and Horizon is not Forza, it's Turn 10's interpretation of Need for Speed thus the British firm.

The Forza developers, most of them, are still employed at Turn 10 but have nothing to do with Horizon, however I when I pressed the issue with them they would not divulge any secrets, which I take to be a good thing.

There's still hope that Turn 10 hasn't gone down the toilet.
