Master Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe in Forza Motorsport 7

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's talk about the Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe in Forza Motorsport 7. This track is a beast, and if you want to nail it, you gotta know what you're doing. We'll break down the strategy for the main circuit, and then I'll give you the lowdown on the variations.

Walkthrough

1
When the race kicks off, you'll want to accelerate out of the starting line and take the first couple of curves at a medium pace.
2
Follow the main curve, and then you'll hit an S-curve that leads into a straightaway. Don't just floor it into the straightaway; ease into it and maintain your speed.
3
Right after that, there's another S-curve, followed by a sharp right-hand turn that you absolutely need to slow down for.
4
Now you'll enter a long straightaway. This is where you can really open up the car and accelerate for a good stretch, unless you have to navigate some curves that might force you to ease off the gas.
5
Keep an eye out for a mild right-hand turn near the end of this section. The very end of the straightaway is a sharp right turn that demands you reduce your speed to almost nothing.
6
As soon as you clear that sharp turn, start accelerating again. You'll be able to hit high speeds until you reach three sharp turns in quick succession.
7
You'll need to slow down a lot for these turns because they are seriously sharp. After them, there's another straightaway with a mild left turn.
8
Towards the end of this straight, there's a bump in the road. It won't slow you down much, but just keep to the inside of the turns.
9
Finally, at the very end, there are two very small turns that require you to reduce your speed right before you hit them.

Circuit Variations:

Bugatti Circuit: This is a large 2.60-mile track. Expect a lot of sharp turns, long straightaways, and some U-turns. The environment is also a bit hilly, which can affect your braking and acceleration.
Full Circuit: This is the massive 8.48-mile track, shaped like a giant circle. It features a multi-mile-long straightaway, but watch out for those small jabs that will force you to slow down in spots. There are some sharp curves, but for the most part, it's pretty flat.
Old Mulsanne Circuit: Another huge 8.48-mile track that's basically a big circle. This one has an almost perfectly flat, multi-mile-long straightaway with just a slight turn near the end. This setup lets you really push your car to its top speed every lap. Like the Full Circuit, it has some sharp curves but is mostly flat.

Tips

On the long straights, try to get your car's aerodynamic setup dialed in. You'll want as little drag as possible to maximize your top speed.
Don't be afraid to use the entire track width, especially through the faster corners. Just be mindful of track limits if you're playing with specific rulesets.
For those really sharp, almost hairpin turns, practice your braking points. It's better to brake a little too early than too late and overshoot the corner.
The variations offer different challenges. The Bugatti is more technical with its sharp turns, while the Full and Old Mulsanne circuits test your ability to maintain high speeds and manage tire wear on the long straights.
