What Is the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign in Forza Horizon 6?
The Airfield Takeoff is one of the PR Stunt Danger Signs in Forza Horizon 6. Like all Danger Signs, the goal is simple. You drive as fast as you can, hit a ramp, and fly as far as possible through the air. The farther you fly, the more stars you earn.
This particular Danger Sign also doubles as a Summer Festival Playlist challenge in Series 1: Welcome to Japan. It comes with a specific car restriction, so you cannot use just any car. You need a Japanese-made A-Class car with a Performance Index (PI) of 700 or lower.
Completing it earns you a Wheelspin and 2 Playlist Points. Those points count toward the Summer Season rewards, which include the 1999 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition and the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR.

Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign Location
The Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign is located in the Ito region of Japan. You will find it near a flat open area that resembles an airfield runway, which is exactly where the name comes from.
To unlock the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign on your map, you need to first complete the Off Piste (Pink) expedition. Once that is done, the ramp will appear as an active Danger Sign icon on your map and you can drive straight to it.
The star distance targets for the Airfield Takeoff in free-play mode are:
- 1 Star: 200 ft
- 2 Stars: 500 ft
- 3 Stars: 800 ft
However, for the Festival Playlist challenge specifically, the target you need to beat is 213 meters. That is the minimum to earn the reward and collect your 2 Playlist Points.

Car Requirements for the Festival Playlist Challenge
The Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign in the Festival Playlist has a strict car restriction. You need to use an A-Class Japanese car with a Performance Index of 700 or lower. Showing up in the wrong car means you will not earn the reward or any Playlist Points, no matter how far you jump.
Some of the most common Japanese car brands available in FH6 include:
- Toyota
- Nissan
- Honda
- Mitsubishi
- Mazda
- Subaru
Important: Hyundai and Kia are South Korean brands and do not count as Japanese for this challenge. Always double-check the car’s country of origin in the garage before heading to the event. Also make sure your PI reads 700 or below. Even 701 PI will disqualify you.
Best Cars for the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign
You want a car that builds speed quickly and can reach over 190 km/h before it hits the ramp. A strong launch stat matters most here. Below are the top picks that players have used to clear this challenge comfortably.
Toyota GR86 (2022)
The 2022 Toyota GR86 is one of the most recommended cars for this challenge. It handles the corner leading to the ramp smoothly and builds speed well on the straight. Tune it up to close to 700 PI and look for a community preset with a high launch stat. This is the same car used for the Sekibe Circuit Time Attack and Bamboo Hilltop Speed Trap challenges in the same week, so one good tune covers all three events.
Toyota GR Supra
The Toyota GR Supra is another excellent option. It has strong straight-line acceleration and hits the ramp with plenty of momentum. Several community tunes have been built specifically for this Danger Sign using the Supra in A-Class. If you already own the Supra, it is worth trying before buying something new.
Nissan Silvia K’s
The Nissan Silvia K’s with tune code 109 972 012 is a proven pick. Players using this tune have cleared over 246 meters on this Danger Sign, well above the 213-meter requirement. If you want a ready-made option that already works, this is your fastest route to completing the challenge.
Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 (1994)
The 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 is another solid and tested choice for this event. It runs at 698.2 PI, keeping it safely under the 700 limit. Community tune code 883 345 296 is available if you want to use it directly without building your own setup.

How to Find a Community Tune in Forza Horizon 6
If you do not want to build a tune from scratch, finding a shared community setup is the easiest option. Here is how to do it:
- Drive to any garage or open the pause menu.
- Go to Upgrades and Tuning.
- Select Find Tuning Jobs.
- Filter by car model and class to find relevant tunes.
- Sort by top rated or most downloaded to find the best options.
Look for a tune that keeps the PI at 700 or below and has a high launch stat. A launch stat of 9.0 or above is a good target for this challenge. You can also enter the specific tune codes listed above directly if you want to skip the search entirely.

How to Complete the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign Step by Step
Once your car is ready, follow these steps to clear the challenge and collect your reward.
Step 1 – Travel to the Ito Region
Open your map and set a route to the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign in the Ito region. The icon looks like a red arrow launching off a ramp. If you cannot see it on the map, make sure you have completed the Off Piste (Pink) expedition first.
Step 2 – Start Your Run as Far Back as Possible
Do not start your run right at the corner near the ramp. Go as far back on the road as you can to build maximum speed. There is also a small hill to the north of the ramp that you can use as an even earlier starting point, which helps you pick up extra momentum before the corner.
Step 3 – Carry Speed Through the Corner
There is a bend in the road just before the ramp. This is where most players lose speed. Try to maintain around 150 km/h through the corner without braking too hard. Keep it smooth and start accelerating as soon as you clear the apex of the bend.
Step 4 – Hit the Ramp Above 190 km/h
Floor the throttle on the straight after the corner. You want to be hitting the ramp at above 190 km/h. If you reach the ramp at that speed, you will clear the 213-meter requirement. Anything faster gives you extra distance as a buffer.
Step 5 – Land Clean and Straight
Keep the car pointed straight in the air and avoid touching the brakes. A flat, clean landing scores better and ensures the distance counts. Avoid over-steering mid-air, as it can cause a side-on landing that may not register properly.

Rewards for Completing the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign
Completing the Airfield Takeoff Danger Sign in the Festival Playlist earns you:
- 1 Wheelspin – a random reward that can include cars, credits, or clothing items.
- 2 Playlist Points – these go toward your Summer Season total.
The Airfield Takeoff is also part of a trio of A-Class 700 PI Japan-restricted events in Week 1 alongside the Sekibe Circuit Time Attack and the Bamboo Hilltop Speed Trap. All three can be completed back to back using the same car. Together they give you 7 Playlist Points and 3 Wheelspins, making them the most efficient quick-wins in the Summer Playlist.

Summer Season Festival Playlist Rewards
The Summer season runs from May 21 to May 28 as part of Series 1: Welcome to Japan. Completing the Summer Season goals rewards you with two cars:
- 1999 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition – earned by reaching 20 Playlist Points during Summer.
- 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR – earned by reaching 40 Playlist Points during Summer.
The Airfield Takeoff challenge alone contributes 2 of those 20 points needed for the first car. Pair it with the other two Japan-restricted PR stunts and a couple of daily challenges and you will have the first reward car unlocked very quickly.

Tips to Clear the Airfield Takeoff Faster
- Use a shared tune. Community tunes set up specifically for this stunt save a lot of time. The Nissan Silvia K’s (tune code 109 972 012) and the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 (tune code 883 345 296) are both confirmed to work well.
- Start from the hill north of the ramp. Starting from higher ground gives you a longer acceleration run and a natural speed boost before the corner.
- Nail the corner exit. Speed through the bend is more important than top speed. Carry as much momentum as possible out of the corner and build from there.
- Check your traction tune. Wheelspin off the ramp costs you meters in the air. A traction-focused tune keeps power going to the road cleanly.
- Confirm your PI before leaving the garage. The limit is exactly 700 PI. Even one point over will lock you out of the Playlist challenge.
- Use the same car for all three Japan-restricted events. Airfield Takeoff, Sekibe Time Attack, and Bamboo Hilltop all share the same restriction. One good tune handles all three in a row.

How the Festival Playlist Works in Forza Horizon 6
If you are new to the Festival Playlist system, here is a quick overview. The Playlist is a set of timed challenges that rotate with the seasons. Each season lasts one week. Completing events earns you Playlist Points, and those points unlock reward cars that you cannot buy anywhere else.
You need to earn your first Wristband before the Festival Playlist unlocks. That takes around an hour or so of playing through the early game. After that, the full Playlist opens up and you can start earning points.
Series 1: Welcome to Japan runs from May 21 to June 18, 2026. It is split into four weeks: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Each week has its own set of challenges and reward cars.
To make the most of your time each week, prioritise the faster challenges first. The photo challenge, treasure hunt, and PR stunts like the Airfield Takeoff can all be done in under 30 minutes combined. Then move on to the Seasonal Championships for the bigger point hauls.
