Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe

Navigate the challenging Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe in Forza Horizon 5. Learn strategies for the Bugatti, Full, and Old Mulsanne circuits to achieve top speeds and master every turn.

The Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe is a demanding track in Forza Horizon 5, featuring distinct sections that require careful navigation and speed management. This guide provides strategies for tackling its various configurations.

Pit Road: Yes

Strategy: When the race begins, accelerate around a curve and then take two more at a medium speed. Follow the curve and enter an S-curve leading to a straightaway. Maintain speed, and right after that, you'll encounter another S-curve and a sharp right turn that requires slowing down. You will then enter a large straightaway that allows for long acceleration, unless you encounter curves that may require slowing down. There is a mild right near the end, and the very end is a sharp right turn that requires reducing your speed significantly. Begin to accelerate again to reach high speeds until you come to three sharp turns. Slow down considerably for these turns, as they are very sharp. There will be another straightaway with a mild turn to the left. At the end is a bump in the road that causes a slight reduction in speed; keep to the inside of the turns. At the end are two very small turns that require reducing speed right before the end.

Circuit Variations:

Bugatti Circuit

A large 2.60-mile track with many sharp turns and long straightaways, numerous U-turns, and a slightly hilly environment.

Full Circuit

This is a huge 8.48-mile track shaped like a large circle. It features a multiple-mile-long straightaway with small jabs that force you to slow down in parts. It has some sharp curves but is mostly flat.

Old Mulsanne Circuit

This is a huge 8.48-mile track shaped like a large circle. It has a multiple-mile-long straightaway that is almost perfectly flat, with a slight turn near the end, allowing vehicles to reach their top speed each lap. It has some sharp curves but is mostly flat.
