- Buy the Minka House early for a 10% credit bonus on all Stunt Party events.
- PR Stunts earn Wristband progress, Discover Japan stamps, credits, and Accolade completion.
PR Stunts are one of the most important activities in Forza Horizon 6. They are scattered all across Japan’s open world map, and they feed directly into every major progression track in the game. Skip them and your Wristband progression slows down fast. Do them well and you unlock new regions, better events, and valuable rewards.
This guide covers all five PR Stunt types in FH6, the best cars for each, tips for hitting 3 stars, and how to work through them efficiently. Whether you are just starting out or cleaning up the last few stunts before unlocking Legend Island, this guide has everything you need.
What Are PR Stunts in Forza Horizon 6?
PR Stunts — short for Public Reputation Stunts — are solo skill challenges spread across Japan’s map. They show up as icons on your minimap, each colour-coded to indicate which Wristband tier is required to attempt them.
There are 111 PR Stunts in total at launch across five types. Every stunt has three difficulty thresholds, giving you 1, 2, or 3 stars depending on how well you perform. Getting a 3-star rating requires the right car and the right technique.
Completing PR Stunts earns you:
- Horizon Festival Points — feeding your Wristband progression
- Discover Japan Stamps — counting toward your exploration journal
- Credits — direct cash rewards per stunt
- Accolade completion — ticking off the achievement tracker
They are also tied into the Wristband Progression System, making them a core part of reaching the Gold Wristband. You do not need to 3-star everything — there are more stunts available than you need to hit Gold — but completing a solid portion of them at a good star rating is the fastest way through the early-to-mid game.
How PR Stunt Unlocking Works
PR Stunts are locked behind Wristband colours. That means you cannot attempt every stunt from the start. Each new Wristband tier you earn unlocks a new batch of stunts on the map. Higher-tier stunts require higher car classes, including S2 and X-class hypercars for the most demanding Speed Traps and Danger Signs.
The practical advice: focus on dense areas like the Ohtani region early in the game. They are packed with PR Stunts and are the fastest way to climb your first few Wristband levels. For a full breakdown of the progression system, see our beginner’s guide from Tourist to Legend.
Speed Zones – Average Speed Through a Section
Speed Zones measure your average speed through a marked section of road. There is a start flag and an end flag. From the moment you cross the first flag to the moment you exit the zone, the game tracks how fast you are moving on average. Peak speed does not matter here — consistency does.
How Speed Zones Work
The biggest mistake players make in Speed Zones is braking hard inside the zone to handle a corner. That kills your average and destroys your score. The goal is to maintain high speed throughout the entire section, not just hit a fast burst at the start.
Japan’s roads are tighter and more technical than previous Forza Horizon settings, which makes Speed Zones more demanding here than they were in FH5. You need a car that brakes late, corners fast, and accelerates out of turns quickly. Pure top speed is less useful than a combination of braking and acceleration.
Tips for 3-Starring Speed Zones
- Drive through first, then attempt. Do one slow pass through the zone to learn every corner before going for a score. A blind corner that forces emergency braking mid-zone will cost you dearly.
- Brake before the zone entry, not inside it. Scrub any unwanted speed before the start flag. Once you are in the zone, you want to be accelerating, not braking.
- Cut corners aggressively. Two wheels on the dirt edge does not penalise you. The scoring only cares about speed, not road discipline.
- Try both directions. Some Speed Zones have a significantly easier direction due to downhill sections or gentler corner angles. If one direction is giving you trouble, flip around.
- Stay off the brakes mid-corner. Trail brake only when necessary. Lift and coast through corners rather than hard braking.
Best Cars for Speed Zones
- Koenigsegg Agera RS — Best combination of top speed and braking in the game for technical zones. See our Koenigsegg Agera performance stats guide.
- Porsche 911 GT3 RS — Exceptional handling for tight, technical Speed Zones where cornering matters more than top speed.
- Rimac Nevera — Instant electric torque makes it excellent for zones with multiple acceleration points between corners.
Drift Zones – Score Points While Sideways
Drift Zones are marked sections of road where your score is calculated based on your drift angle, speed, and how long you stay sideways. The harder and faster you drift, the higher your score. You need to accumulate a target score to earn stars.
How Drift Zones Work
The score multiplier builds as long as you stay in a continuous drift. If you straighten out, the combo resets. If you hit a wall, the combo resets. The game rewards committed, controlled drifts that use the full width of the road.
Japan’s mountain roads and winding touge routes make Drift Zones some of the most satisfying in the franchise. The northern mountain passes in particular are excellent for chaining long, linked drifts through multiple corners.
Tips for 3-Starring Drift Zones
- Start drifting before the zone entry flag. If you initiate your drift inside the zone, you waste scoring distance getting the car sideways. Enter the zone already sliding.
- Maintain a wide, aggressive angle. A committed 45-degree drift scores far more than a shallow 10-degree slide. Go wide.
- Use the full road width. Sweep from one edge to the other as you drift. The wider your path, the higher the points per metre.
- Do not touch walls. Any wall contact resets your combo entirely. A clean 4-second drift beats a sloppy 8-second drift that ends with a wall tap.
- Link drifts through S-curves. If the zone has multiple corners, transition from one drift direction to the opposite without straightening the car. Linked transitions multiply your score.
Best Cars for Drift Zones
- Nissan Silvia S15 — Predictable, responsive rear-end that is easy to control. The benchmark car for learning Drift Zones.
- Formula Drift Supra — High-power option for faster zones where you need speed alongside angle.
- Toyota AE86 — The best car for tight, technical Drift Zones where precision matters more than power.
For a deeper look at drift technique and car setups, see our best drift cars and tuning setup guide. The Touge routes in Japan are also brilliant practice grounds — check out our Hakone Nanamagari Touge guide and Mt. Haruna Touge guide for the best drifting roads in the game.
Danger Signs – Jump as Far as Possible
Danger Signs are ramp jumps. Drive off the ramp at speed and the game measures your total air distance. The faster you hit the ramp, the farther you fly. Simple concept — but getting the full 3 stars requires serious speed on approach.
How Danger Signs Work
The ramp itself is fixed. What changes is how fast you arrive at it. There is no scoring for landing style or air tricks — it is purely about distance. Some Danger Signs have demanding 3-star thresholds. The two hardest signs in Forza Horizon 6 require 230 mph approach speeds — the Airfield Runway and Izu Skyline locations are the most extreme in the game.
Tips for 3-Starring Danger Signs
- Back up far enough. Start your run well behind the ramp to build maximum speed before launch. For high-target Danger Signs, you may need a kilometre or more of run-up.
- Hit the ramp perfectly straight. Any sideways angle wastes forward momentum and shortens your distance. Aim straight at the ramp from 500+ metres back.
- Do not brake after the camera shows your speed. If there is a corner after the ramp, that is a problem for after the jump. Hit the ramp at maximum speed and handle whatever comes next.
- Clean landing extends distance slightly. Landing on all four wheels rather than nose-first or tail-first gives a marginally better measured distance.
- Check for obstacles mid-air. Some Danger Signs have trees or buildings in the flight path. You may need a specific approach angle to clear them.
Best Cars for Danger Signs
- Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut — Highest top speed in the game. For most Danger Signs, this is the only answer.
- Rimac Nevera — Better acceleration to reach top speed on shorter run-ups where the Jesko cannot fully wind up.
- Porsche 918 Spyder — Excellent launch stat for Danger Signs with limited approach distance.
Also worth checking is our guide on the Koenigsegg One:1 performance stats — another strong choice for high-speed jump challenges.
Speed Traps – Hit Maximum Speed at One Point
Speed Traps are single-camera checkpoints on the road. The game only measures your speed at the exact moment you cross the camera. Nothing before or after matters. There is no average to maintain — just one number at one point.
How Speed Traps Work
Because only that single moment counts, Speed Traps are the most straightforward stunt type in the game. Find the trap, get a long run-up, hit the camera as fast as physically possible. The challenge is finding a long enough straight approach and having the right car.
The hardest Speed Traps in FH6 demand 230 mph. The Airfield Runway and Izu Skyline traps hold the highest requirements in the game. For those, nothing but a top-tier hypercar will do.
Tips for 3-Starring Speed Traps
- Use the longest possible approach. Identify the longest straight road leading toward the trap and start your run from as far back as possible.
- Use the fastest car you own. Speed Traps are the one stunt type where raw top speed wins above everything else. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is the answer for the hardest traps.
- Do not brake before the camera. If there is a corner after the trap, that is future you’s problem. Cross the camera at full speed.
- Draft behind AI traffic. Following closely behind a traffic car gives you a slipstream bonus that can push your speed a few extra mph over the line.
- Use downhill gravity. If the Speed Trap is on a slope, approach from the downhill direction to get free extra speed from gravity.
Best Cars for Speed Traps
- Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut — The highest top speed car in the game. Mandatory for the 230 mph traps.
- Koenigsegg Gemera — A strong alternative with excellent straight-line performance. See our Koenigsegg Gemera performance stats guide.
- 2016 Koenigsegg Regera — Another top-speed monster for demanding traps. Details in our Regera performance guide.
Trailblazers – Race Across Open Terrain to the Finish
Trailblazers are point-to-point timed runs across Japan’s open landscape. There is no fixed road. You get a start point and a finish point, and you drive across whatever terrain lies between them as fast as possible. Fields, forests, rivers, hillsides — whatever is in the way, you go through it.
How Trailblazers Work
The scoring is simple: reach the finish point in the fastest time possible. Stars are awarded based on time. The challenge is that the terrain varies wildly between Trailblazers. Some routes cross open flat ground. Others involve dense woodland, steep hills, or river crossings that slow conventional cars to a crawl.
A supercar will bounce, bottom out, and lose control on rough ground. Trailblazers need off-road vehicles that can absorb punishment and stay controllable at speed across mixed surfaces.
Tips for 3-Starring Trailblazers
- Scout the route before attempting. Drive through the path at reduced speed on your first attempt to identify obstacles, steep drops, and water crossings. Use that knowledge on your second run.
- A straight line is not always fastest. A longer detour on flat, open ground is often quicker than a shorter path through thick trees or up a steep hillside. Look for the smoothest terrain, not just the most direct route.
- Off-road capability is mandatory. Using a road car in a Trailblazer is a recipe for losing control. You need genuine off-road suspension and clearance.
- Watch for water crossings. Rivers and streams slow you down significantly. Hit them straight and at speed to minimise the time lost.
Best Cars for Trailblazers
- Ford Bronco — Fast, stable, and handles dirt, water, and rough terrain without drama.
- Ariel Nomad — Light and nimble. Excellent for open-terrain Trailblazers where agility matters more than raw speed.
- Alumicraft 122 Class 1 Buggy — One of the best dedicated off-road machines in the game. See our Alumicraft 122 guide for full details.

PR Stunt Progression Strategy
Do not try to 3-star every PR Stunt in a single pass. Here is the efficient approach to working through all 111 stunts.
First Pass — Natural Exploration
Attempt every stunt you encounter while driving between other events. Do not stress about perfecting them. Aim for 1 to 2 stars on each. This naturally feeds your Discover Japan stamps and Wristband progress without dedicated grind sessions. For a full look at how stamps and exploration work together, see our Discover Japan Stamps guide.
Second Pass — Targeted Improvement
After upgrading your garage with faster and better-suited cars, revisit the stunts you could not 3-star on your first pass. With the right car, most stunts that felt impossible early on become straightforward.
Region Sweeps
Complete all PR Stunts in one region before moving to the next. Region completion bonuses from the Collection Journal reward focused play and help you unlock Barn Find rumours and new houses in that area.
Do Not Obsess Over 3 Stars
You do not need to 3-star every single stunt to reach the Gold Wristband. There are more stunts available than you need for maximum progression. If a specific stunt is giving you consistent trouble, move on and return later with better equipment. Getting 3 stars on the stunt types you find easy lets you skip the ones you find hard entirely.
PR Stunts and the Festival Playlist
PR Stunts also appear in the weekly Seasonal Events and Festival Playlist. Each weekly playlist includes specific stunt targets with score requirements tied to a particular location or car. These are often the fastest points to earn in any given week — a well-tuned car can clear a Speed Zone or Drift Zone challenge in a single attempt.
Completing playlist stunt challenges also rewards credits and Wheelspins on top of the playlist points themselves. They are worth doing every week, even after you have 3-starred the relevant stunt in the open world.
Buy the Minka House First
If you plan to grind PR Stunts seriously, buy the Minka House early for 450,000 CR. It gives a 10% credit bonus on all Stunt Party events. That extra income adds up quickly across 111 stunts and multiple attempts. For the full breakdown of house perks in FH6, see our all houses locations and perks guide.
PR Stunts and Accolades / Achievements
PR Stunts feed directly into both the Accolades system and the achievement/trophy list. For a full roadmap on what needs to be completed and in what order, see our all achievements and trophy guide.
