Forza Horizon 6 Credits

As you progress deeper into Forza Horizon 6, you will unlock additional features by attaining higher Wristband tiers, Weekly Challenge being one such feature. Completing it earns you corresponding rewards.

This challenge refreshes every Thursday. Counting from the game's official launch, this marks the second week; the new challenge, King of the Road, went live yesterday.

Below, we'll walk you through how to unlock and complete this mission. Best of all? You have the entire weekend to get it done!

How to unlock Weekly Challenges?

Forza Horizon 6 Weekly Challenge is part of Festival Playlist feature. To unlock it, you must first reach the entry-level Rookie tier, represented by Yellow Wristband, within Wristband progression system.

To do this, you need to earn at least 1,250 Wristband Points in-game. Actively participating in races or completing missions within Discover Japan series should allow you to reach this milestone quite quickly.

Beyond unlocking Weekly Challenge, reaching Yellow Wristband tier also rewards you with new cars. Furthermore, advancing your progression is, in itself, a core objective of your Forza Horizon 6 experience.

How to complete King of the Road Weekly Challenge?

While the specific objectives may vary, all FH6 Weekly Challenges adhere to a few basic mechanics, for instance, they always consist of four distinct steps and require you to drive a specific vehicle.

Additionally, completing the current Weekly Challenge earns you a fixed reward of Forza Horizon 6 Credits, as well as Festival Points that can be used to unlock further seasonal rewards.

Step 1: Unlock 1989 Nissan Silvia K's

1989 Nissan Silvia K's is the specific vehicle required to complete this week's challenge.

From a practical standpoint, it features a cutting-edge multi-link rear suspension system and a 1.8-liter engine equipped with dual overhead camshafts and turbocharging technology, capable of producing a maximum output of 173 horsepower.

Fortunately, acquiring this car in FH6 is quite simple: provided you have already completed a few races, the game system will grant it to you for free, essentially as part of a starter pack bonus.

However, given that you will need to drive this specific vehicle to complete the subsequent steps of the challenge, we recommend tuning 1989 Nissan Silvia K's immediately after unlocking it to further enhance its performance.

Step 2: Earn 3 stars in Drift Zones

There are currently approximately 20 Drift Zones in the game, comprising 10 on dirt surfaces and 10 on paved roads. These zones unlock gradually as your Wristband level increases; you can locate the specific icon for each zone on the map.

This step imposes no restrictions regarding the specific range or type of Drift Zones you use. Therefore, you are free to select any unlocked zone to complete this objective, whether it be one located close to Horizon Festival site or one with which you are particularly familiar.

It is worth noting that if you find drifting particularly challenging, to the point where achieving a 3-star rating in a single run seems difficult, you can complete this step over three separate runs, provided you earn at least one star in each attempt.

However, if you are able to achieve the required rating in a single run, you will earn additional Skill Points. These points can be invested in Car Mastery to enhance the performance of your 1989 Nissan Silvia K's, or they can be redeemed for other in-game resources.

Step 3: Win a road race

Once you have completed the drifting challenge, the third step requires you to drive your 1989 Nissan Silvia K's to victory in a road race.

To do this, you must first locate and enter any event marked with a blue icon on the map. Remember to apply filters to your map display to help you find these events more quickly.

Since this challenge places no further restrictions on the specific race you choose, you are free to select any event you prefer. However, please be aware that certain races restrict you to using only specific vehicles.

Therefore, if you wish to complete this step within such a restricted race, you must first complete the event once using any of the designated vehicles. This will unlock the custom mode for that specific race, allowing you to then use your 1989 Nissan Silvia K's.

In fact, opting for the custom event mode offers an additional advantage: it allows you to lower the difficulty settings, thereby enabling you to complete Step 3 much faster and with greater ease.

Step 4: Complete 2 runs at Festival Kilometer Drag Meet

Festival Kilometer Drag Meet is a specific event found within the game's Free Roam mode. And you should note there is also a mode in FH6 called Festival Kilometer Drag Trip, be careful not to confuse the two!

For this step, you are not required to race against anyone or defeat any opponents; you simply need to complete two full runs of the course.

To begin, drive your 1989 Nissan Silvia K's into the designated starting box. A Ready prompt will appear on the left side of your screen; simply press the corresponding button to confirm that you are ready to start.

Once the green light appears, first engage the handbrake; then, press the accelerator to activate the system. Finally, complete the full one-kilometer course to reach the finish line. Repeat this process twice, and you will have successfully completed this week's challenge.

That covers the complete guide for finishing this week's King of the Road challenge. Completing all weekly challenges in a timely manner will help you unlock seasonal rewards much faster, so get started now!

In Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sean Boswell's drift through the streets of Tokyo remains one of the most memorable scenes for many fans, and countless players have wanted to step into Sean's shoes in Forza Horizon 6.

However, whether in real life or in Forza Horizon 6, drifting is a stunt that demands real skill. Beginners often crash into the roadside or spin out from overdoing it, so you might need to learn a few drifting techniques.

How to Choose a Drift Car?

Not every four-wheeled vehicle is suited for drifting. Nimble, agile models are easier to control and therefore better for learning. You need to consider the car's credits, level, engine placement, and drivetrain. If you are a newcomer, some characteristics should be prioritized, while others are best avoided for now.

Types to Avoid

• Front Engine, All-Wheel Drive
• Mid Engine, Rear-Wheel Drive

Recommended First Choice

• Front Engine, Rear-Wheel Drive

Once you have gained some experience, you no longer have to follow these guidelines. Instead, pick any car you like. Even if the base model isn't suitable for drifting, you can modify it to your liking using Forza Horizon 6 Credits.

Vehicle Upgrades

Upgrading is the most critical part of building any drift car, and it is also full of personal preference. You can choose specific components based on whether you want a competitive or a casual setup.

Engine

Drifting values smooth, linear torque output more than peak horsepower. This allows finer throttle control and a more stable slide. If horsepower far exceeds torque, the car becomes too sensitive and unsuitable for beginners.

Recommended engines:

• 6L 4-Rotor Racing
• 6L I6 Twin Turbo

You can gradually add upgrade parts to increase the engine's horsepower according to your liking.

Tires

The game provides dedicated Drift Tires, which are excellent for beginners to start with. Advanced players may opt for Drag Tires, but that belongs to another level entirely.

More horsepower usually requires wider tires to achieve adequate grip. If your car delivers up to 1000 horsepower, the rear wheels may need the widest setting. Wheel style and size do not affect performance, so just pick what you like.

Drivetrain

• Clutch: Race Clutch
• Transmission: Race Transmission
• Differential: Drift Differential

Chassis & Suspension

• Brakes: Race Brakes
• Springs and Dampers: Drift Suspension

Assist Settings

Once you are in the open world of FH6, open the settings menu and go to Difficulty options to fine-tune your driving controls.

• ABS: Turn on for beginners to prevent wheel lock.
• Steering: Use Standard mode.
• Traction Control: Must be turned off. You need to control wheelspin yourself.
• Stability Control: Must be turned off.
• Gears: Must use Manual.
• Driving Line: Set to "Braking Only" or fully on.

Drift Tuning

Upgrades determine the overall direction and basic capability of the car, while tuning adjusts the fine details to match your personal feel. You can start with another player's tuning setup and then slowly modify it yourself.

Tire Pressure

Higher pressure means a smaller contact patch and less grip; lower pressure gives a larger contact patch and more grip. A recommended setting is 28 PSI for the front tires and 26 PSI for the rear tires. Because the rear wheels spin violently during a drift, their temperature rises, causing the pressure to increase and grip to drop. Setting the rear pressure lower beforehand allows it to naturally reach equilibrium as it heats up (around 30–32 PSI), resulting in a more stable feel.

Gear Ratios

Gear ratios depend on your drifting speed, the track, and other factors. Beginners can look at the chart in the lower right corner, aiming for a top speed of 120–140 mph in 3rd gear.

Springs & Damping

The drift suspension already lowers the car significantly. If you frequently scrape the ground while driving, raise it slightly. For beginners, a softer suspension setup is recommended because it makes the car's behavior more predictable.

Alignment

Alignment controls the tire contact patch and angle, directly affecting steering response, straight-line stability, and the car's ability to hold a drift angle.

• Negative Camber: Causes the tires to tilt inwards.
• Positive Camber: Almost never used, as it drastically reduces outside grip in corners.
• Front Toe: Positive toe means the front of the tires point outward; negative toe means they point inward.
• Rear Toe: Positive toe means the rear of the tires point inward; negative toe means they point outward.
• Caster Angle: Affects the wheel's self-centering ability after a drift; you can set it to maximum.

How to Practice Drifting?

Weight Transfer on a Straight Track

Recommend using Dragstrip at Horizon Festival, as there is no traffic interference.

First, put the car into 3rd gear and leave it there. Start from the right side of the track and accelerate gently. If the wheels spin too much, ease off the throttle slightly.

Begin turning the steering wheel gently left and right to use the car's weight transfer. Thanks to your upgrades and tuning, the rear end will naturally start sliding from side to side.

Gradually increase the throttle during this process, and maintain the slide using throttle depth and steering angle. If you start to spin out, you are giving too much throttle or holding it for too long. If the car does not slide, add more throttle. Once you can control the car's left-to-right sway smoothly, introduce the handbrake.

Tackling a 90-Degree Corner

At the intersection north of Horizon Festival, there is a perfect 90-degree bend. Again, start in 3rd gear and approach the corner from a distance. Use the braking line as your drift initiation point.

After entering the corner, repeat the actions from the straight track - balancing throttle and counter-steering. Keep your eyes locked on the apex and make constant small adjustments. Your goal is to keep the nose pointing toward the apex as you glide through the turn. Past the apex, gradually straighten the steering and increase the throttle to exit the corner.

The principle for handling a 90-degree corner applies to every type of corner in the game. For sharper, shallower, or longer bends, you only need to adjust your entry speed, throttle depth, and handbrake timing accordingly.

Hopefully, the above guide will help you tune your car and successfully drift through the streets of Tokyo in Forza Horizon 6.
