In Forza Horizon 6, Track Toy challenges put the spotlight on lightweight, high-performance cars built for precise handling on circuits. These challenges appear throughout the Horizon Festival, seasonal events, and Time Attack circuits, pushing you to master Japan’s technical roads.
Types of Track Toy Challenges
1. Wristband Challenges
Many Track Toy challenges are tied to the Festival Wristband system. Completing these events with Track Toy cars helps unlock higher-level wristbands and access faster car classes.
2. Track Toy Story Seasonal Events
These recurring three-race championships focus exclusively on Track Toy cars up to the S1 900 Performance Index (PI). They test your ability to manage tight corners and maintain momentum.
3. Time Attack Circuits
Time Attack allows you to drive continuous laps in the open world, setting your personal best times. Leaderboards reset weekly, and rewards are based on your car’s PI. These circuits are perfect for practicing lines and braking points without grid pressure.
4. Horizon Qualifiers
Early in the game, you’ll face challenges that require specific Track Toys to earn wristbands and progress the story.
5. Photo Challenges
Some events, like #APEXSUPERSTARS, require capturing specific Track Toy vehicles, such as a Caterham, at designated festival locations. These add variety to your gameplay while keeping you engaged with the cars.
Top Tips for Track Toy Success
1. Prioritize Handling Over Power
Track Toys shine through corners, not straight-line speed. Focus upgrades on:
- Race tires
- Weight reduction
- Aerodynamics
Cars like the McLaren 600LT Coupé or Caterham R500 perform best when maintaining high speed through technical turns.
2. Consider AWD Conversions
Converting rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Track Toys to all-wheel drive (AWD) can improve traction on launches and corner exits, giving a smoother experience in seasonal championships and mountain roads.
3. Master the Time Attack Circuits
Use Time Attack to fine-tune racing lines, braking points, and throttle control. These circuits offer a low-pressure environment to practice continuously.
4. Filter Your Map
Use the map filter (RB on controller) to highlight Road Racing icons in blue. These locations host the bulk of Track Toy events, saving time and letting you focus on relevant challenges.
5. Balance Throttle and Grip
Maintaining momentum through corners is key. Avoid oversteering or excessive acceleration mid-turn—Track Toys reward smooth, controlled inputs.
