Hi,
how good is the Ingame-Racingline ? I know the breaking-points are not always good and sometimes it shows you got to break but you don´t have to.
But how good is the line itself, especially the three reference-points, turn in, apex and turn out. are they worth learning them or is this for beginner who don´t know how to take a turn…
thank for your answers
it is a guide, following it religiously will get you nowhere
It’s pretty good as a general line (one that has to work for all cars in all classes) and if you do follow it you won’t be far wrong, but depending on what car you’re driving there are faster lines, in some cases much faster.
Consider the line a shortcut to 95% or so - without it you may take 10-20 laps to get there with a new track/ car combo, whereas with it you can be there in 3-5. That last 5% is still up to you to find, and you’ll want to find your own braking points still and experiment with lines etc.

The line is better than must people’s judgment. Use the line first, then to set a base line time or ghost. Then try pushing and changing lines/ brake points to see if you can improve it. Must people brake to late thinking this it’s fast when your really just killing your exist speed. Just keep xperimenting
The suggested line is a very good reference point but the “ideal racing line” varies between drivetrain types and car types. AWD cars have more understeer than rear wheel drive so you have to adjust your line to benfit the cars strong points. Honestly you are never going to follow the suggested line exactly anyway so you’ll figure out you’re ouwn line with practice.
I’ve got a bit of a guide to the brake like along with explanation of it if you’re interested, skip to 11:10: Assists and Braking Line is a Lie (Forza Tips) - YouTube
Thanks everybody for your answers, that helps me
…the things about the "lying"breaking-line I already know, but the vid “cornering tips” gives me answers. and generally your vids are helpful, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Whenever I race ghosts of top times the ones that follow the line very closely and more precise have the best times. I’ll experiment off the line to see if I can catch them but they always seem to just stay steady on the line and get the best times. There always seems to be a few people at the very top that are able to squeeze a couple extra seconds out of the lap times that separates them from the pack.
The racing line is theoretically the shortest and straightest route around the track. However it may not be the quickest for your particular car. Given that your car had relatively neutral handling then the recommended line would be pretty good. That being said, all of my cars either understeer, oversteer or both and I doubt I follow the line that closely.
