To make it into the Horizon Festival, you’ll have to complete the Horizon Qualifiers and then the Horizon Invitational, earning your first Wristband. In Forza Horizon 6, Festival races are a curated experience, requiring you to enter using a specific set of cars in Road, Dirt and Cross Country events. With each new Wristband that you earn, you’ll be invited to compete in more events around Japan, and as you rise through the ranks of the Horizon Festival, these races will feature car themes – challenging you to master faster, more thrilling cars. Completing Festival Events, as well as activities like PR Stunts and Skills, will help you progress towards your next Wristband.
After a race has been completed for the first time, the Race Customizer will be unlocked for that specific event. In the event setup menu, you can adjust the number of Drivatars (up to 11), season, weather, time of day, time progression, number of laps, Rewind availability, camera lock, and traffic. By default, the Race Customizer will select a Car Theme that matches your current car, and there are also several other Car Themes to choose from, including pre-made classes and type-based restrictions. If you prefer, you can even pick each individual car that is permitted for the event.
