The "Racing Horses" Trial, introduced in Forza Horizon 6 Series 3 Week 2, is a high-speed challenge restricted to S1-Class 800 PI Ferrari models. Because the AI Drivatars are set to "Unbeatable" difficulty and tend to pull away early, preparation is key to securing your 10 Festival Playlist points.

Preparation Checklist

Before entering the event, ensure you meet the following requirements:

  • Gold Wristband: Required to participate in Trials.
  • Eligible Vehicle: A Ferrari tuned to exactly 800 PI.
  • Recommended Cars: The 2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale is the most effective choice. The 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia serves as a viable alternative if you already own one.

The Optimal Setup

If you don't already have a competitive car, you can purchase the 2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale from the Autoshow for 500,000 Credits. Using the upgrade code 153 660 325 will optimize the vehicle's handling and acceleration, allowing it to dominate the circuit races without sacrificing top speed.

Avoid using the 2017 Ferrari J50 Preorder Car. Despite its 800 PI rating, it performs poorly against the AI in this specific trial compared to the recommended models.

Strategy for Success

This week’s event consists of a series of three-lap circuit races. To win, keep the following tactical tips in mind:

  1. Prioritize Clean Racing: Do not ram your teammates. The event requires team cooperation to accumulate enough points to beat the AI.
  2. Navigate the First Corner: Be aware of 2018 Ferrari Portofino drivers. They often have high acceleration off the line but frequently struggle with the first turn. Position yourself to avoid collisions caused by their braking errors.
  3. Don't Fall Behind: Once the Unbeatable Drivatars break away, they are difficult to catch. It is better to brake early and maintain your line than to smash into a wall or miss a checkpoint, which will effectively end your chances of catching the leaders.
