It Isn’t All About Speed
While Forza Horizon 3 is definitely a racing game, that doesn’t mean that you need to drive at top speed at all times. There will be moments when you need to slow it down, particularly during Street Races or challenges with a lot of turns. When this happens, you’ll want to watch your driving line (the blue one on the ground that changes color depending on how you’re driving). If you see it start to turn yellow or, even worse, red, make sure to hit the brakes and slow down so you can safely take the turn. If you’re worried about losing a lead by doing so, don’t. Other cars will have to do the same, so if you come out of the turn well, you can just accelerate and keep your lead.
We didn’t only mean slowing down from time to time, though, as there are times when you’ll need speed and something else. That something else is style. You can earn extra Credits, XP, and Fans by completing races and challenges in style. Drifting, jumps, drafting, overtaking opponents, clean driving, and other tricks can help earn you bonuses on the side. So, while driving fast and earning your place on podiums, make sure to make it look good as well.
