This guide covers the Top Gear track in Forza Horizon 5, detailing strategies for its various configurations: Full Circuit, East Circuit, and West Circuit.

Full Circuit

A totally flat, 1.75 mile long race track with a few right angle turns and a major sharp curve that forces you to slow down to extremely slow speeds. Looks almost like two chain links connecting, the track is mostly a medium to low speed track due to the short nature of the track combined with the sharp turns.

East Circuit

This short track is only 0.94 miles long, and makes up the first, more rectangular shaped portion of the full circuit. The corners are mostly curved allowing medium speed racing to take place here. The two right-angle turns at the end of the track force you to slow down near the beginning and end of each lap.

West Circuit

This extremely short, 0.80 mile track is a small triangle with three short straightaways with curved turns that allow for medium to fast speed races. Nothing complicated here, just be ready for those curves, the track is a scalene triangle.

Strategy

Start this race by taking an extremely sharp left and then accelerating into a short straightaway. Be warned this first turn is extremely narrow so take it as inside as you can. The straightaway is curvey and narrow so be careful. At the end you will make a sharp left onto a piece of track in the center of the circle and then a sharp right. This is a very close turn so take it slowly and be careful not to run off the track. After the second turn is one of the tightest turns in the game, it is a right turn and to get around you have to greatly reduce your speed and take it inside. The track widens outside the turn. Accelerate along the following straightaway and try to maintain your speed through the moderate right and left turns that follow. Then slow down for the final left turn and accelerate toward the finish line.
