Learn how to use the racing line in Forza Horizon 2 to achieve the best times, with explanations of color coding and settings.
The racing line is a visual aid that appears on your screen (part of the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) - Heads-Up Display) to guide you through races. It is recommended to follow this line for the fastest times. You can customize its visibility: always on, only on near corners, or always off.
When the line is set to 'always on':
- Green: You can maintain your current speed.
- Yellow: A turn or curve is approaching; begin to slow down.
- Red: A sharp turn is imminent; you must slow down to avoid crashing.
If you choose the 'breaking only' line, it will only appear to warn you about upcoming turns or curves, and the constant green indicator will not be displayed.
Settings:
- Full-0%
- Breaking Only- +5%
- Off +10%
- Experiment with the 'always on' setting first to understand how the colors indicate braking zones.
- Once comfortable, try the 'breaking only' setting for a less intrusive visual aid.
- The racing line is a recommendation; experienced players might find faster lines by deviating slightly in certain sections.
