Forza Horizon 6 Series 4 Winter Season: Every Challenge and Reward

The Winter Season of the Horizon Mascot Party playlist is live in Forza Horizon 6, and it runs on a one-week clock. Between the AutoZOOM Weekly Challenge, a rotating Daily Challenge, the #CultClassic Photo Challenge, and the Ohtani Region Treasure Hunt, there are enough points on the board to grab the headline reward car and a fistful of credits and wheelspins along the way.

Quick answer: Reach 20 Festival Playlist points during the Winter Season to unlock the 1974 Toyota Celica GT. The AutoZOOM weekly, the #CultClassic photo challenge, and the Ohtani Region treasure hunt together cover most of that total before the season closes on September 3, 2026.

Winter Season window and rewards

The Winter Season runs from August 27 to September 3, 2026. Points earned across the weekly, daily, seasonal, and online events stack toward two seasonal reward tiers.

Points needed	Reward
20	1974 Toyota Celica GT
40	Hard-to-Find seasonal car drop

You do not need a perfect completion score to secure the Celica GT. Twenty points is the first milestone that matters, and the weekly and map-based challenges below get you there quickly without touching the slower online events.

Get the 1993 Autozam AZ-1 first

The AutoZOOM Weekly Challenge is built entirely around the 1993 Autozam AZ-1, so you need the car in your garage before any of its four steps will register. The cheapest route is to win it for free by completing the Taiyaki Scramble Seasonal Championship. Once the AZ-1 lands in your garage, the weekly opens up.

AutoZOOM Weekly Challenge steps

The four chapters must be done in order. You cannot skip ahead to the final one, and each unlocks the next as it completes.

Own and drive the 1993 Autozam AZ-1. Simply switching to the car and driving it clears the first chapter.

Spend 25,000 credits on upgrades for the AZ-1. A body kit and a turbo alone will push you past the threshold, and the parts carry over to the later speed and race chapters.

Hold a speed of 193 km/h (120 mph) or higher for 10 continuous seconds in the AZ-1. Fast travel to a highway stretch, build momentum, and keep your foot down for the full count.

Win any Touge Race in the AZ-1. Filter the map for Touge Racing events, enter one such as Norikura Skyline, and take first place to finish the weekly.

You will know the weekly is done when all four chapters show a tick and the credit reward posts to your account.

Test Drive Daily Challenge

The Test Drive daily is one of the quickest points on the board. Open the map and look for an Aftermarket Car icon at a festival site, such as the MX-5 FE ’94. Drive up to it and select Test Drive to complete the objective instantly.

#CultClassic Photo Challenge

The #CultClassic photo challenge wants a picture of any Cult Car taken at the Edamame Time Attack location. A Volkswagen Beetle is an easy pick. Switch to a Cult Car class vehicle, drive to Edamame Time Attack, open Photo Mode, and snap the shot to finish.

Ohtani Region Treasure Hunt location

The Ohtani Region treasure chest sits directly under the Matsumi Great Bridge, on a dirt path beneath the span. Drive to that spot, smash the chest, and you collect 100,000 CR. The reward posts the moment the chest breaks.

Seasonal event and PR Stunt requirements

Two of the seasonal activities lock you into specific car classes, so prepare the right vehicle before you start to avoid backtracking.

Activity	Car requirement
PR Stunts (Danger Sign, Speed Trap, Speed Zone)	D-class, 400 PI Eclectic Domestics car
Edamame Time Attack seasonal event	C-class, 500 PI car from the 1970s

The remaining seasonal slate rounds out the playlist with championships, PR stunts, and class-restricted races. Use the Seasonal Events filter on the world map to find each one without hunting across the map.

Knock out the AutoZOOM weekly first, then bank the Test Drive daily, #CultClassic photo, and Ohtani Region treasure hunt in a single session. That order clears the fastest, highest-value objectives up front and puts the 1974 Toyota Celica GT in reach well before the season resets on September 3.
