Learn how to use the racing line in Forza Horizon 5, including what the green, yellow, and red colors mean and different display options.
The racing line is a visual aid that appears on your screen (HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) - Heads-Up Display) during races in Forza Horizon 5, recommending the best path to follow for optimal lap times.
You can customize how the racing line appears: it can be set to be always on, only appear when approaching corners, or be turned off completely.
When the racing line is set to always on, its color provides important information:
- Green: Indicates you can maintain your current speed.
- Yellow: Signals that a turn or curve is approaching, and you should start to slow down.
- Red: Appears at sharp turns, indicating you must brake to avoid crashing.
There is also a 'Breaking Only' setting. If you enable this, the racing line will only appear to warn you about upcoming turns or curves, and the standard green line indicating optimal speed will not be constantly visible.
Settings and their effects:
- Full: Default setting.
- Breaking Only: +5%
- Off: +10%
- Experiment with the different racing line settings to find what works best for your driving style.
- Pay attention to the color changes of the racing line, especially when it turns yellow or red, to anticipate braking points.
