Learn the best strategies and track layouts for the Top Gear circuit in Forza Motorsport 7. Master every turn and accelerate to victory!

Alright, let's talk about the Top Gear track in Forza Motorsport 7. It's a bit of a tricky one, especially if you're new to the game, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be flying around it. We'll break down the different layouts and give you the lowdown on how to nail each section.

Full Circuit Strategy:

When you start this race, you'll want to yank your car to the left immediately, then get on the gas for a short straight. Be warned, that first turn is super tight, so hug the inside as much as you can. The straight that follows is twisty and narrow, so ease into it. At the end, you'll hit a sharp left onto a section in the middle of a circle, followed by a sharp right. This turn is really close, so slow it down and be careful not to go off-track. After that second turn, there's one of the tightest turns in the game – a right turn. You'll need to slow way down and take it on the inside to get around it. The track opens up a bit outside the turn. Hammer the accelerator along the next straightaway and try to carry your speed through the moderate right and left turns that come up. Finally, brake for the last left turn and then floor it all the way to the finish line.

This is a completely flat, 1.75-mile track with a few right-angle turns and one major sharp curve that forces you to crawl. It looks a bit like two chain links hooked together. Because the track is short and has these sharp turns, it's mostly a medium to low-speed circuit.

East Circuit Details

This track is short, only 0.94 miles, and it's basically the first, more rectangular part of the full circuit. The corners here are mostly curved, allowing for medium-speed racing. However, those two right-angle turns at the end of the track will make you slow down significantly near the beginning and end of each lap.

West Circuit Details

This is an extremely short, 0.80-mile track shaped like a small triangle. It has three short straightaways with curved turns that let you race at medium to fast speeds. There's nothing too complicated here, just make sure you're ready for those curves. The track is a scalene triangle, so keep an eye on that.
