Prague

Get the inside scoop on conquering the Prague circuit in Forza Horizon 2. Learn the best lines and strategies for both the short and full circuits to dominate the competition.

Alright, let's talk about Prague in Forza Horizon 2. It's a pretty iconic spot, especially since it hosts the very first race in the game. You've got a couple of track variations here: the Short Circuit and the Full Circuit, plus their reverse versions. We'll break down how to nail these tricky European streets.

Short Circuit
This one's a bit more compact, coming in at 1.83 miles. It's mostly flat, but don't let that fool you – those cobblestone streets can make it tough to maintain top speed. You'll find one sharp turn and two long straightaways. It's a good place to get a feel for the game's handling, but you'll still need to be precise.

Full Circuit
This track expands on the short circuit, stretching to 3.51 miles. It adds a significant hilly section and a couple more turns, plus a long straightaway. This is the one you'll remember from the game's intro. It really tests your ability to manage speed through varied terrain.

Strategy for Prague (General)
When you kick off a race here, you'll want to accelerate hard right off the line. Push through the first couple of overpasses, but then you'll need to start slowing down to manage a couple of sharp curves – first a hard right, then a left. After that, you can get back on the gas through a gentle right curve. Next up is a bit of a challenge: an uphill, leftward corkscrew that goes under another overpass. You'll need to slow down again for a left turn right after. Take that one tight on the inside. You'll then accelerate downhill, but keep your eyes peeled because you'll have to brake again at the bottom. Get back on the throttle for the next straightaway, but be ready to shed speed quickly for a sharp right followed immediately by a sharp left. Again, hugging the inside on these is key, and a little brake tap will save you. You'll then enter a tunnel. As soon as you emerge, slow down for two right turns. After those, you'll accelerate over a bridge and follow a winding road. You can carry a good amount of speed here, but stay alert for the milder curves. The final stretch involves a sharp left turn, after which you can floor it all the way to the finish line.

Track Variations
Remember, you've also got the reverse versions of both the Short and Full Circuits. They're the same layouts, just driven in the opposite direction, so the same general driving principles apply, but you'll be approaching corners from a different angle.
