Well... tracks in games don't look great to me if there's no indication that they've been used. Just plain asphalt looks unfinished, lacking details and references. IRL during a race weekend with several series running you wouldn't expect the track to look pristine either. And there's a maximum amount of skidmarks if I'm not mistaken (and should you check the replay during a session they're gone).
Sure there should be some marks but it is often WAY overdone.
For example this is lap 85 of 90 at the glen Nascar race @ T1. Notice there are a few mistake marks here and there but not 1000 individual little skid marks in the brake zones.
Same track, totally different car, similar look
To be clear this isn't a dig on Mitja as Kunos is guilty of this too.
Real life. Again not saying there are no marks in real life just not at the level shown in sim.
