Forza Horizon 6 this week: Holden Monaro, Honda CR-X and every reward worth chasing
The Spring Festival Playlist runs 29 October–5 November. Here are the confirmed 20/40-point cars, Series goals, update context and practical ways to prioritise your week.
Australia gets a wonderfully fitting headline reward this week: the 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327. The final Spring week of Forza Horizon 6's Horizon Meets Festival Playlist runs from 29 October until 5 November 2026, giving players a seven-day window to claim the Monaro and the 1991 Honda CR-X SiR.
The rewards you can still earn this week
| Reward | Requirement | Availability | Who should care? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327 | 20 Spring points | 29 Oct–5 Nov | Australian muscle-car fans and collectors |
| 1991 Honda CR-X SiR | 40 Spring points | 29 Oct–5 Nov | Players aiming to complete the seasonal rewards |
| 2025 BMW M4 CS | 80 cumulative Series points | Series 6 reward | Players who have built points over the month |
| 2015 Koenigsegg One:1 | 160 cumulative Series points | Series 6 reward | Dedicated completionists with sufficient accumulated progress |
The Monaro's in-game announcement describes a 5.36-litre V8, rear-wheel drive, 249 hp and a D-class starting point. Those are the listed stock specifications, not a prediction of competitive lap times. Don't waste upgrade credits copying a supposed winning tune that hasn't been tested for the specific event.
A practical plan for the 20-point car
- Open the current Spring tab and read event restrictions before choosing a car. Class and vehicle category restrictions matter more than horsepower alone.
- Prioritise short, repeatable challenges you can complete reliably rather than struggling with a difficult championship first.
- Watch your points total after each claim; a completed event is only useful toward the prize if the reward has registered.
- Collect the Monaro once you reach 20 points. Then decide whether the additional work to 40 points is worth the Honda to you.
- If you are also chasing Series rewards, check your cumulative total: the 80- and 160-point cars use series-wide progress, not just this final week.
What else is time-sensitive?
The Horizon Meets update introduced a 7-Eleven-themed Car Meet and Evolving World content, a new Treasure Car, Horizon Play progression and additional Spec Racing cars. Playground Games identifies the 7-Eleven installation as limited-time Series content; check the in-game Evolving World before the November 5 rollover rather than assuming it will remain permanently available.
Current update version and fixes
Forza Support lists the October Series 6 update as 3.461.691.0 on Xbox and Windows Xbox app, and 1.461.691.0 on Steam. Patch notes also document a fix for a Drift Attack scoring exploit involving fast travel and rewind, missing audio on several Drive Mode animations, and a Collection Journal photography issue at Temple of Nachi Falls. These are software fixes, not new weekly challenges.
What we haven't verified
Event-by-event shortcut routes, exact recommended tunes, online auction prices, and a supposedly fastest way to reach 40 points can change or depend on community-tested methods. We have not independently timed those routes or tested user-submitted tunes. The rewards and dates above are official; strategy suggestions are editorial.
Check the Forza developer overview and the actual Festival Playlist screen for the last-minute rollover before November 5.
