The British are coming! The British are coming! And in Forza Horizon 6, the British are already here!

So, slap a hanky on your head as we’re going to dive in to the latest challenges on offer, delivering up some tunes, tips and tricks to help you out. With a new Drift Attack event, a British Automotive Dealership to top off your inventory and more, there’s a lot to enjoy.
You’ll find that the Series 5 Summer challenges are in place from now, running right through until October 8th 2026. Fire up Forza Horizon 6 this instant and get involved with the latest challenges. And remember, you can play through Game Pass if you like.
As always, and much like all the Series’ that have gone before it, Series 5 gives you the opportunity to rack up Festival Playlist Points by completing events across the map, unlocking the featured seasonal rewards before we start all over again with Series 6, which is entitled “Horizon Meets”. Who knows what that will bring?
Here’s everything included in the Forza Horizon 6 Series 5 Summer Festival Playlist, along with our recommended cars, tune setups in the form of share codes, and challenge tips. Hopefully they’ll help you out. If they do, let us know down in the comments.
What Is The Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist?
If you’re new to the scene, the Festival Playlist is Forza Horizon 6’s rotating weekly challenge system, offering players the chance to complete seasonal events in exchange for Playlist Points, reward cars, Wheelspins and Credits.
Each Series lasts four weeks and is split into Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring editions, with Series 5 taking place from September 10th, for 4 weeks. From there, we move into Series 6. Should you be looking for all our Challenge Guides, we’ve got you covered.
Completing events across the map increases your seasonal progress, unlocking exclusive rewards before the Playlist resets the following week.

Festival Playlist Reward Cars
This week’s seasonal rewards are tied to Playlist Point totals earned across the various activities available around the map.
- Points – 20 | Reward – 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior (Epic)
- Points – 40 | Reward – 2021 McLaren 620R (Epic)
I do like a McLaren, and even a Ginetta can be a bit of a weapon in the right hands. I approve of these choices!
- Points – 80 | Reward – 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed (Rare)
- Points – 160 | Reward – 2019 Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car (Legendary)
Event: Monthly Rivals
- Points: 4pts
- Circuit: Shimanoyama Sprint
- Car: McLaren W1
- Reward: Super Wheelspin
Remember, get round with a clean lap to succeed. It doesn’t need to be fast, just neat! Basically, go as slow as you like… And given the car this month, that may be a challenge! It is pretty speedy…
Event: Weekly Challenge
- Points: 5
- Challenge: Extreme Rover
- Car: 202- Land Rover Defender 110 X
- Reward: 25,000 Credits
More commonly seen depositing a small child at school and blocking most of the road, the Land Rover Defender is the epitome of a Chelsea Tractor, I reckon. Still, we have the chance to get it a bit muddy now, so let’s go! The share code for mine is 168824547. 1100 BHP and 214 mph seems perfectly reasonable.
It’ll cost 250,000 Credits from the Autoshow, or win the “Cross Country Heroes” seasonal championship to get one for free.
Step 1: Own and drive the car. Pretty simple.
Step 2: Earn 4 stars at Danger Signs. Can you fly, Bobby?
Step 3: Win three Great Wreckage Skills.Crash into stuff! Easy in something this size…
Step 4: Finally, take a photo of the car at the Shimanoyama Drift Circuit, the new location. Bonus points for a smoky one!
Enjoy your credits and points!
Event: Daily Challenges
- Points: 1pt x7
- Challenge: 7 Individual Challenges
- Car: Varies
- Reward: Credits
Daily challenges return, and as the name suggests, a new one is unlocked every day. You’ll want to keep checking back to find out what you need to do each and every time! There is an achievement for earning every point in a season, and these are key to doing that.
Event: Photo Challenge
- Points: 2pts
- Challenge: #JaguarSnap
- Car: A Jaguar, surprisingly.
- Reward: Outfit – Retro Race Suit
Take a picture of your car at the Shimanoyama Drift circuit, anywhere you fancy.. Should be easy enough.
See the top of this article for my effort.
Event: Treasure Hunt
- Points: 3pts
- Challenge: Ito Region
- Car: Any
- Reward: 100,000 credits
Smash the treasure chest in the Ito Region to win all the credits.
The picture below shows you where you should be looking, the tip of the arrow is touching the chest.
Event: Seasonal Championship – Cross Country
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Cross Country Heroes
- Car: Sports Utility Heroes
- Reward: Land Rover Defender
The Land Rover I used at the start would be perfect for this (check the share code if you have the car already) but assuming you’re doing this to win one, then use a Lamborghini Urus, and the share code is 103662666.
Win all three races solo, or best two of three if you’re in a convoy, and the prize will be yours.
Event: Seasonal Championship – Street Racing
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Rural Summer
- Car: Retro Supercars _- A Class
- Reward: Jaguar XJR-15
I went with a Ferrari, because why wouldn’t you? The F355 Berlinetta, to be exact, and the share code is 425096775.
Event: Seasonal Championship – The Trial
- Points: 10pts
- Championship: Spring Cleaning
- Car: Total Buggies and Offroad – A Class
- Reward: Noble M600
It went okay last week, and we won first time out – Let’s hope it continues.
This time around, for Series 5 Summer, Total Buggies and Off Road and A Class sounds interesting, and so I went with a Jeep Trailcat. Silly engine in a lightweight body, what could go wrong?
Anyways, the share code? That is 674731767.
Good luck with your team!
Event: Seasonal Job
- Points: 3
- Location: Tokyo
- Car: Provided
- Reward: Forza link phrase – “Action!”
Do a full shift of the food delivery job to complete this. That’s three deliveries in a row, mind.
Event: Drift Attack
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Shimanoyama Drift Attack
- Car: Â Any
- Reward: Wheelspin
60,000 points in a lap is very doable, especially if you utilise the blue scoring zones on the way around.
Event: Speed Trap
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Riverside
- Car: UK Cars – S1
- Reward: Wheelspin
170 mph in an S1 Class car sounds easy – Being British, not so much. I used a Noble M600 in stock trim to do it.
Event: Danger Sign
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Irokawa Launch
- Car: UK – A Class
- Reward: Wheelspin.
Jump over 280m to win. I used the Defender from the top of this article, share code : 168824547.
Event: Trailblazer
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Kodachi Descent
- Car: UK – B Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
We need 30 seconds or more on the clock when we complete this, and so I went with a Mini X-Raid ALL4 Racing Countryman. Stock trim was rubbish, so try share code – 126002012. A 6 litre V8 in a Mini? Ideal!
This is a real challenge, so try your best.
Event: Horizon Stunt Party
- Points: 3pts
- Location: Online
- Car: Depends on the event
- Reward: Emote – The Robot
It’s Stunt Party time once more so you’ll have to hang around until it pops. Jump on it when it appears is my advice and should it do so, you’ll need to complete Round 3 to win out. Fairly easy though.
Fastest Ways To Earn Playlist Points This Week
If you’re looking to unlock the seasonal rewards quickly, you may want to prioritise the easier activities first. If that is indeed the case, and pretty much as always, we always recommend ticking off the Photo challenge first – it’s the most simple way to rack up the points. Then hit up the Treasure Hunt before making the most of Horizon Stunt Party once again. Grind away and you’ll find points coming your way fairly swiftly.
This should allow you to stack up a healthy hit of progress through the Playlist before even touching the longer Seasonal Championships.
Follow our lead from up above and you should find yourself powering through the Festival Playlist challenges in Forza Horizon 6 for Series 5 Summer. Next up will be Autumn, as British Automotive carries on into the foreseeable.
As always, we’d love to hear if any of our cars and tunes helped you out, so feel free to get involved in the comments.
And remember, you’ll need a copy of Forza Horizon 6 in your digital library. It’s available through Game Pass if you prefer. Just head to the Xbox Store and enjoy a download.
