Raytracing isn’t reflections, it’s lighting. Lighting is an important component for depicting both weather and time-of-day, and would make implementing those things easier and more realistic.
But I’m highly skeptical that we’d be seeing in-race raytracing (racetracing? lol) in the next generation, even with a “Pro” mid-gen upgrade. Ergo, no horsepower would be used on it in-race anyway.
