Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Dominate the Grand Prix Circuit and The Brickyard Speedway at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Forza Motorsport 7. Learn the best lines and strategies for every turn.

Alright, let's talk about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Forza Motorsport 7. It's a legendary track, and we've got two layouts to tackle: the Grand Prix Circuit and the classic Brickyard Speedway. We'll break down how to get the most out of both.

Grand Prix Circuit

This is a 2.60-mile beast that winds through the infield, incorporating parts of the famous oval. It's mostly flat, with one banked turn on the oval section. You'll find a long straightaway in the middle and most of the home stretch, plus a couple of shorter adjacent straights.

Strategy

You'll kick things off on a medium-length straightaway. Keep an eye out for an S-turn on your right coming up. You’ll want to slow down just a bit before diving into it. Then, pick up speed through the next few turns, which you can take pretty quickly. After that, you’ll hit a full U-turn that definitely requires you to ease off the gas. Take the next turn moderately fast, and then really accelerate down the straightaway. Next up is a gentle three-tiered S-turn; slow down a little here. Following that, there’s a short straight with two easy curves. Finally, you’ll enter the home stretch, which has a high-speed turn leading you straight to the finish line. Nail this last turn, and you'll set a great lap time!

The Brickyard Speedway

This is the iconic, purely oval-shaped, flat racetrack that’s 2.60 miles long. It’s super recognizable and famous for a reason. Like the Grand Prix Circuit, it’s flat except for the banked turns, and you can even see some of the original track's bricks exposed in places. It features four long straightaways, basically making it a rectangle with rounded corners.

Strategy

You'll start on a straightaway, then immediately hit a banked left turn. After that, it's another straightaway followed by another banked left turn. The key here is to slow down just a tad for the turns and then absolutely floor it on the straightaways. Consistency is king on this track; smooth inputs on the banking will make all the difference.
