FH6 Festival Playlist Weekly Tracker — Every Series 1 Reward Car

Forza Horizon 6's Festival Playlist is the weekly endgame loop that hands out reward cars, credits, and Super Wheelspins. Series 1 — Welcome to Japan — runs May 21 to June 18 with 10 reward cars across four weekly seasons. Today is May 26, which means the Summer week ends in 2 days. Here's every Series 1 reward, the deadlines, and the honest grind math. This tracker refreshes every Thursday when the Playlist resets.

How The Festival Playlist Actually Works

The Festival Playlist unlocks after you finish the Horizon Invitational and earn the Yellow Wristband — about one hour of normal play after launch. Each event you finish contributes points to three meters simultaneously — the weekly seasonal target, the Series 1 total, and your lifetime Playlist Points for permanent Series History Rewards.

Every Thursday at 7:30 AM PDT (4:30 PM CEST) the Playlist resets. New events, new weekly rewards, new in-game season. Miss the deadline and the weekly rewards are gone — they don't carry forward to the next week's pool. Series-wide rewards (Mazda Furai at 60 points, Nissan 370Z at 120 points) accumulate across all four weeks, so consistent play across the full Series matters more than grinding any single week.

⚠️ Week 1 — Summer (May 21-28) — ENDS IN 2 DAYS

The launch-week season. Point requirements are lower than later weeks since this is the first taste of the Playlist for new players. If you haven't grabbed these yet, you have 2 days.

20 points — 1999 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition (Rare). Series debut for the 1999 Altezza variant. The 2004 Altezza appeared in Forza 1 through 4 but the 1999 model is brand-new content. Compact JDM sedan, classic Japanese street icon, B-class tuner potential.

40 points — 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR (Epic). Returning fan favorite. Iconic AWD chassis, one of the best off-road picks at launch. Uses the same model as FH5 (left-hand steering) per Dot Esports notes — minor cosmetic recycling, gameplay-wise identical.

The 2-day deadline math: 40 points across 2 days = 20 points per day. Achievable via 3 seasonal championships (15 points) + Weekly Challenge (5 points) + Treasure Hunt (5 points). That's roughly 90 minutes of focused play. The Evo IX expires May 28 at 7:30 AM PDT.

Week 2 — Autumn (May 28 - June 4) — Coming Thursday

The week the Playlist points get harder to ignore. Autumn introduces the Weekly Job and Touge Online event types — both reward unique cars for relatively small time investments.

20 points — 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R33). The Forza staple Skyline returns. Twin-turbo 2.6-liter inline-six, AWD, B-tier. The R33 generation is the iconic mid-90s Skyline before the legendary R34 — fan-favorite for tuning builds.

40 points — 1991 Honda CR-X SiR. Returning Forza staple. Insane power-to-weight ratio when tuned, B-class capable of beating S-class cars in handling events. A drift-friendly Civic-platform hatchback.

New event types: Touge Online debuts in Autumn week — head-to-head mountain duels for Playlist points. The Eliminator reward this week is more forgiving than in past Forza games — only requires top-30 finish, not a podium.

Week 3 — Winter (June 4-11)

20 points — 2019 Subaru WRX STI S209. The US-only STI variant Subaru built for Americans. Monster rally car, AWD, turbo flat-four. Limited production run made the real-world car a collector's piece — in FH6 it's just a great rally car.

40 points — 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Arctic Trucks AT37. Returning Forza off-roader. Modified Land Cruiser with Arctic Trucks suspension and 37-inch tires. Built for the worst weather Japan can throw at you, which is exactly what Winter week leans on.

Week 4 — Spring (June 11-18)

Spring rewards are TBD — Playground typically announces week 4 rewards 1-2 weeks before the season starts. Expect two more Japanese classics matching the Welcome to Japan theme. This tracker will be refreshed June 11 with the confirmed Spring picks once Playground reveals them.

🏆 Series-Wide Rewards (Cumulative Across All 4 Weeks)

These two cars accumulate across all 4 weekly seasons — you have until June 18 to hit the totals.

60 points — 2008 Mazda Furai. The Series 1 grand prize. Concept car that never made production. 450-horsepower 20B 3-rotor Wankel engine — the "sound of the wind" rotary that became the holy grail of unreleased Mazda projects. Previously appeared in Forza Motorsport 3, 4, and 2023. Forza Horizon debut. Hit 60 points by June 18 or wait years for it to potentially return.

120 points — 2010 Nissan 370Z. The 120-point grand prize sits at roughly one-third of the total points available across the full Series. Achievable with consistent weekly play but requires you to log in every Thursday and clear the dailies — skip 2 weeks and you'll miss the threshold.

The Honest Grind Math

Casual target (60 points): Get the Mazda Furai. Roughly 15 points per week × 4 weeks. Hit your weekly championships + Weekly Challenge + Treasure Hunt and you're done by mid-Series. About 90 minutes of focused play per week.

Completionist target (120 points + all weekly cars): Get the 370Z, Furai, and every weekly pair. Roughly 30 points per week. Requires clearing most weekly activities — about 3 hours of focused play per week across 4 weeks. The Cherry Blossom Badge bonus for completing every Playlist activity type during Series 1 adds another layer.

Skip strategy: if you only want the Furai, skip the weekly cars. You don't need them for the 60-point Series total. Focus on whatever event types you enjoy most.

What's Coming After Series 1

Series 1 ends June 18 at 7:30 AM PDT. Series 2 — Horizon Decades — begins immediately. Theme details are mostly under wraps, but Dot Esports confirmed Series 2 will introduce The Trial limited to Horizon Legends (a higher-tier challenge mode for veteran players). New reward cars, new themed challenges, new Cherry Blossom-style badge.

The Festival Playlist points you earn in Series 1 are PERMANENT for Series History Rewards. Every series adds to your lifetime total — Series History unlocks exclusive cars that can't be earned in any single Series. Long-term grinders get the biggest payoff.

The Final Take

The Furai at 60 points is the obvious goal. Everything else is bonus. If you only have time for one weekly target, hit your seasonal championship + Treasure Hunt + Weekly Challenge — that's 25+ points per week, enough to clear Series 1's 120-point threshold easily. Don't grind. The Playlist rewards consistency over intensity.
