Circuit Driving Strategies

1. Master Split Timings
Pay attention to the split-time markers during each lap. They tell you exactly where you’re losing or gaining time versus your best lap. Focus on the tricky corners first; cutting a fraction of a second there adds up.

2. Optimize Corner Exit Speed
Always aim for the “deep inside” line in complex turns. The goal is to maximize your exit speed without spinning out. Even small improvements on exits can make a huge difference over a full lap.

3. Use Real-Time Leaderboards
Compete with friends using Convoy Leaderboards. Staying close to others can trigger “Link Skills,” giving you extra points for synchronized maneuvers. Remember, weekly leaderboard resets mean you get a fresh shot to hit the Top 100 every week.

Car Selection and Tuning

1. Spec Racing Mode
If you want a pure test of skill, Spec Racing removes upgrades and tuning, so everyone’s on equal footing. Your driving matters more than your car setup.

2. Time Attack Builds
For open classes, handling beats raw top speed. Key upgrades:

• Functional Aero: Add front splitters, canards, and adjustable rear wings for stability.
• Limited Slip Differential: Helps maintain traction during tight rotations and counter-steering.
• Transmission Choice: Manual with clutch is faster than automatic if you can handle it.

3. Aftermarket Cars
Check for pre-modified cars near Time Attack Circuits. These often come pre-tuned for the track, letting you test them before buying.

Workflow for Continuous Improvement

1. Locate
Your map shows all Time Attack circuits—from high-speed highways to off-road parks.

2. Lock-In
Drive through the gantry to set your “Current Best” lap.

3. Refine
Stay in the open world to hot-lap repeatedly. Each run automatically compares against your ghost so you can keep improving seamlessly.

4. Earn Rewards
Every lap gives Credits and XP, making circuits not just for leaderboard glory but also for steady progression and farming car upgrades.

Pro Tip: Combine ghost analysis with real-time Convoy runs. Study your ghost to spot braking or acceleration errors, then practice alongside friends to learn tricks for tricky corners or drafting boosts.

Master these techniques, and you’ll dominate FH6 Time Attack Circuits like a true Horizon Legend.
