Forza Motorsport 5 is one of the most well-received editions in the popular racing game franchise. Among the game’s plaudits is the decrease in the number of cars from roughly 500 to 200 and, more importantly, a reduction from 26 racing tracks to just 14. Some are brand new, some have been overhauled and upgraded, and others have been discarded entirely to make the game as fun and exciting to navigate as possible.

With Forza Horizon 5 newly released, take a look back at the most challenging, versatile, and dangerous racecourses of the series that is its predecessor. Mountains, mega-metropolises, motor speedways, and more all abound.

10 Bernese Alps

As picturesque as it sounds, the Swiss Bernese Alps mountain track in Forza Motorsport 5 is definitely a path worth taking in the popular original Xbox game. The track begins at the base of the famous mountain range, slowly descends up through a harrowing series of twists and turns, and forces drivers to bend corners at 200 mph+ mere inches away from the cliff’s edge.

Aside from the challenging hairpin turns and pleasant sightseeing surroundings, the most memorable part of the track comes when a driver blazes through a black tunnel and must steer through it before nearly flying off the cliff upon exit.

9 Catalunya

Hailed as an all-around circuit that can accommodate any type of racing, the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is located in Catalonia, Spain. Introduced way back in Forza Motorsport 4, the new gameplay upgrades and improved graphics in Motorsport 5 make it one of the most exhilarating tracks to navigate.

Also known for its long straightaways and versatile corners, the map layout sort of resembles a person holding out their arms and flexing both biceps. The wind tunnels become a serious factor on the track, necessitating the most aerodynamic cars Forza has to offer.

8 Prague

Often hailed as one of the most architecturally beautiful cities in the world, the Prague race track mixes gorgeous surroundings with a difficulty level sure to capture the attention of Forza players.

Making a major rebound, the newly updated Prague track features improved lighting, shading, and an advanced gameplay engine that atones for its mistake-ridden predecessor. Moreover, the excitement of peeling out through the ornate bridges, vestibule archways, and ancient cobblestones of Prague rather than a traditional motor speedway race track provides endless entertainment in the superb Xbox One exclusive game.

7 Mount Panorama

One new addition to the Forza Motorsport 5 map includes Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, Australia. While the course resembles an ill-formed P-shape, the infamous real-life racetrack is 3.81 miles long and known for its harry hillside twists and turns.

Home of the annual Bathurst 1000 motor race, Mount Panorama forces drivers to navigate a street course that turns into a private road, climb more than 570 feet, scale a terrifying mountainside, and descend back down the mountain into town. There’s even an ominous tree stump known as Hell Corner that has claimed many a motorist’s life.

6 Le Mans

The Holy Grail of long-distance racing, Le Mans will always be considered one of the finest race tracks in both fiction and nonfiction. As a pure endurance test, the track requires 24-hours of consecutive car racing in order to determine a winner. Aside from a stamina test, the track requires low-maintenance and fuel-efficient cars to find the finish line. Driving from sunrise to sunset is one of the game’s coolest experiences.

Beyond the historical importance and unique challenges it presents, the storied French racetrack covers a huge range of France’s most arresting tourist sites and breathtaking architecture.

5 Laguna Seca

Located in Monterey County, California, Laguna Seca is home to all sorts of racing events, from Formula 1 to stock car events. The diverse track boasts all sorts of bumps and dunes in a dusty desert-like setting, presenting a major challenge for drivers to maintain control while racing.

One of the really cool aspects of Laguna Seca is that it allows viewers to rent out campsites and stay overnight, which racers can interact with as they continue to lap the track. Notorious for its harry downhill Corkscrew turn and 180-foot elevation change in a short distance, Laguna Seca is a great track to drive on no matter which vehicle a player has, and calls to mind some of the best car racing movies with its cinematic vistas.

4 Silverstone

According to Forza’s creative director, Dan Greenwalt, via Eurogamer, the English Silverstone Circuit was one of the Motorsport 5 maps considered to be “a complete recapture” from the Forza Motorsport 4 game. With an express priority on improving what hampered the first version, the improvements mark a clear upgrade and a chief reason to visit the game.

Created in the 1940s, what Silverstone lacks in scintillating scenery, it more than makes up for with its rich Grand Prix history, challenging map shape, and overhauled graphics.

3 Yas Marina

Situated on the exotic Yas Island in Adu Dhabi, the Yas Marina Circuit boasts one of the newest and most complex maps in the Forza series. Home of the annual Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the high-tech track is an architectural marvel if nothing else.

Boasting 21 corners that careen around the picturesque Abu Dhabi Marina, Water Park, Theme Park, Yas Hotel, five grandstand areas, and an underground pit exit, Yas Marina is simply one of the coolest and most exhilarating tracks ever designed. It’s harrowing courses like this that make Forza one of the scariest Xbox games, at times.

2 Sebring

Florida’s Sebring International Speedway is one of the United States’ oldest and longest-functioning race tracks ever built. Major upgrades have been made to the Forza Motorsport 4 game, including smoother pavement, moodier lighting, and more fluid motion to take on the 300 lap challenge.

Sebring is a 17-turn, 3.74-mile track known for its bumpy terrain, harrowing Sunset Bend, Hairpin turn, and long Ullman straightaway that allows drivers to pick up the utmost speed.

1 Spa Francorchamps

Another brand new track added to the Forza Motorsport series includes Spa Francorchamps, home of the annual Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix. The sharp, sickle-shaped map presents some of the scariest twists and turns in the game, necessitating specialty cars to survive the race in one piece. The track’s notorious Masta Kink corner is often considered the most difficult in the world.

Even if drivers manage to negotiate Masta Kink, the equally unnerving Eau Rogue/Radillion combo portion of the track is famous for a series of fatal accidents that rocked the racing world.
