There are three Horizon Rush events in Forza Horizon 6, which have been introduced at the global launch of the game and serve as timed obstacle course challenges. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to complete all Horizon Rush events in the game, including:
- Pier Pressure (Tokyo City Docks)
- Sotoyama Ski Resort (Alpine Region)
- Irokawa Space Center (Coastal Spaceport)
Pier Pressure Event
The first Horizon Rush event features huge jumps, snaking routes over towering shipping containers, rooftop starts, off-road bits, and so much more. You can earn a maximum of three stars based on your time, which usually requires a near-perfect run but unlocks better rewards. Here’s how you can complete this race:
- Minimize handbrake use for smooth driving, which is faster.
- Use Ford RS200 or MG Metro 6R4, which has great grip and avoid unnecessary slides that kill momentum.
- Use the light handbrake only for very tight hairpins in the Container Climb section.
- In the Container Climb sector, hit water landings in 4th gear to prevent bogging down and losing speed.
- Avoid 5th gear on long straights, but take a wide line, hit the apex, and get back on the gas early to maximize exit speed into straights.
- Final turn is critical leading to the ramp, so aim for 132–135 kph (82–84 mph) at the ramp for the perfect jump through the glass ceiling and subsequent crane section.
Sotoyama Ski Resort Event
This event takes place in the snowy Japanese Alps around Sotoyama and emphasizes winter conditions with icy slopes, elevation changes, mountain ramps, and tight, technical sections. Here, you can expect a mix of high-speed descents, controlled slides on snow and ice, big jumps off ski structures and natural terrain.
- Prioritize smooth inputs and momentum preservation, as aggressive braking or sliding on ice can easily cost you time and cause spinning.
- Learn braking points early for icy corners, where trail braking helps maintain some rotation without losing too much speed.
- Approach jump sections at optimal speeds to clear gaps cleanly and maintain flow into the next sector.
- Use sector splits to focus on problem areas, such as tricky downhill sequences and technical uphill climbs.
- Choose rally or AWD vehicles with good low-temp grip and tune them for stability over raw power.
Irokawa Space Center Event
The third and final event is located on the coast, inspired by the real-world Tanegashima Space Center, and features a high-tech, cinematic spaceport environment. It blends coastal elements with massive industrial infrastructure.
- Balance high-speed runs with precise positioning for jumps, with speed being your key element on straights, but control matters for landings and corners.
- Focus on clean approaches to ramps for maximum flow and avoid penalties from poor landings.
- Watch out for fast transitions between open coastal sections and tighter facility areas.
- Leaderboards here often reward bold lines and perfect jump timing for big time saves.
- Use vehicles with aerodynamic tweaks that perform best here due to the emphasis on big air and speed.
