The winter season in Forza Horizon 6 is gaining momentum, and with it, the “Welcome to Japan” festival playlist is throwing up new mysteries. One of the daily challenges—a daily challenge to complete the Horizon Rush event—has given many players pause. It seems like a simple task, rewarding 5,000 credits and one coveted season point. After all, that point is crucial if you plan to garage the 2019 Subaru STI S209 or the monstrous 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Arctic Truck AT37. Time is running out before the deadline (Sunday, June 14). Let’s figure out where exactly to go.
Which races count towards Horizon Rush in Forza Horizon 6?
The problem is, the game doesn’t really explain the rules. We open the Forza Horizon 6 map, filter the icons down to bracelet races, and see a curious picture: some races reward generously with rating stars, while others (like the Mech race) award nothing at all.
The secret is simpler than it seems. Those bracelet events, where you can earn one to three stars, are the Horizon Rush events we need. Races without stars are just demonstration races; they’re not suitable for daily racing. The main catch (a classic of the genre) lies in the interface: the exact name of the race type only appears when you personally arrive at the starting point. This information is simply not available on the global map.
In short, to complete the “What a Rush” quest, you need to find the right race and simply cross the finish line. Do you need to earn all three stars? Fortunately, no. One is enough.
Here are three tried and tested routes:
-
Pier Pressure – yellow bracelet, head to Tokyo.
-
Off Piste — blue bracelet, found in the Sotoyama region.
-
Launch Control — orange bracelet, hidden in the Nangan location.
Don’t see them on the map? Then you’ll have to grind a little more. Ride around the Horizon Festival, earn points, and unlock new story bracelets—the races you need will appear on your radar sooner or later.
