Autumn is the second week of Series 6, Horizon Meets, in Forza Horizon 6, running from October 15 through October 22, 2026. Finishing the week’s events feeds Festival Playlist points into two season reward cars, and the Photo Challenge, Treasure Hunt, and Collectibles task make up the quickest points on the board.

Quick answer: Reach 20 points for the 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT and 40 points for the 2010 Nissan 370Z. Start with the Photo Challenge, Treasure Hunt, and Egging You On collectibles, then clear the championships.


Autumn reward cars and point thresholds

Two cars are tied to this week’s Autumn total. Two more sit across the whole of Series 6 and stay available through November 5, so points you earn in Autumn also count toward them.

In Focus weekly challenge (2017 Ford Focus RS)

The weekly challenge runs across four chapters and needs the 2017 Ford Focus RS for every step. If you do not own it, buy it from the Autoshow for 37,000 CR or win it for free by completing the Fully Charged seasonal championship.

Add the 2017 Ford Focus RS to your garage and drive it. Owning and driving the car clears Chapter 1 on its own.

Open Photo Mode while in the Focus RS and take a shot of the car. Any location works, so you can do this the moment you have the car.

Set the world map to show Speed Traps, then fast-travel to one—for instance, the highway tunnel by Izu Skyline. In the Focus RS, earn a combined 3 stars from Speed Traps.

Drive through the trap at speed, and use rewind to run it again if your first pass falls short of three stars.

In a single run, link drifts, near misses, and wreckage to reach a score of 5,000 skill score or higher. This earns a Great Skill Chain. The clear highway stretch on the approach to Tokyo City works well for the run. The weekly challenge completes when the chain is recorded.

#SliceOfLife photo challenge

Worth 2 points, this is the fastest task of the week. Switch into any Mazda, such as a 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and drive to Jodogahama Beach at the southern coastal tip of the map. Enter Photo Mode on the sand with the coastal rock formations in frame to unlock the Relax emote.


Treasure Hunt in the Takashiro Region

A tree and wooden picnic table mark the chest’s spot in a grassy clearing by the lake, directly south of the Okishinaimura Run street race. Use any car: drive off-road through the tall grass and smash the chest to earn 100,000 CR and 3 points.

Egging You On collectibles

Smash 20 egg sandwich bags for 3 points and the “Nothin’ but net!” Forza Link phrase. They spawn around the parking lot and the surrounding crop fields of the 7-Eleven Konbini car meet, near the Kawazu Nanadaru Loop Bridge.

If you run out before hitting 20, fast travel away and back to respawn the remaining bags, then finish the set.


Seasonal championships

Each championship is worth 5 points and hands over a car for winning. Win all three races solo, or take the best two of three in a convoy.

Fully Charged is the one to prioritize if you still need the Focus RS for the weekly challenge, since winning it gives you the car for free.


PR stunts, The Trial, and Stunt Party

Both PR stunts use a B 600 class Nissan, so a 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R works for both. Each returns a Wheelspin.

The Trial: Take It From The Top is a 10-point team event using an Unlimited Offroad A Class car, and it rewards the AMG GT Black Series. Horizon Stunt Party is worth 3 points for completing Round 3 of any live Stunt Party event, which hands over the Black Carbon Fibre Helmet. Monthly Rivals adds 4 points for a clean lap at Daikoku Circuit in the BMW M4 CS, with a Super Wheelspin attached.

Daily challenges round out the week at 1 point each across seven days, and they are needed for the season’s full-points achievement, so check back each day to see what is active. Following the order above clears the easy points first and leaves the longer championships for last, which is enough to pass both the 20- and 40-point Autumn thresholds comfortably.
