The Circuit de Cataluña is a challenging racetrack featured in Forza Horizon 2, offering distinct layouts for varied racing experiences. This guide provides strategies for navigating its twists and turns.

Grand Prix Circuit

This is the longest layout at 2.89 miles, featuring a significant straightaway and numerous challenging turns, especially near the beginning.

National Circuit

A shortened 1.85-mile version of the Grand Prix circuit, omitting a section after the first turn.

School Circuit

This 1.06-mile track utilizes the section removed from the National Circuit, offering a moderately hilly and compact racing experience.

Race Strategy

The track begins with a long straightaway ideal for acceleration, but be prepared to slow down significantly for the two narrow turns immediately following. Hug the inside of these turns. Afterward, a long, wide curve allows for maintaining speed through the middle. Following this is a short straight, then a sharp right turn best taken from the middle. Another straight stretch allows for maintaining speed before a sharp left turn. This left turn is narrow, so take it from the inside and reduce speed drastically. Accelerate slightly in the next straightaway before navigating a narrow left followed by a medium left; slow down a bit for the second. As the road ahead features a mild right turn that can be accelerated through, be cautious of the track narrowing and avoid running off the road. Accelerate through the next straightaway until halfway, then drastically slow down for an extremely sharp turn, beginning your deceleration about halfway to the turn. A subsequent straightaway allows for acceleration, followed by a medium s-turn requiring only a slight speed reduction. Another acceleration zone leads into a series of narrow s-turns best taken at medium speeds. Finally, take one more medium left, slow down slightly, and then accelerate towards the finish line.
