If you're working on the Floor It seasonal challenge in Forza Horizon 6 and need to earn Great Speed Skills, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

What is a Great Speed Skill?

A Great Speed Skill is earned when your car hits around 250 km/h and maintains it for a few seconds without crashing. Once you do this, the skill is banked automatically and counts toward your challenge progress. These skills are essential for certain Festival Playlist seasonal challenges, such as the “Welcome to Japan” series 1.

Ultimate Speed Skill

Ultimate Speed Skill: Drive above 161 km/h for a short disctance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Earning Great Speed Skills

Step 1: Go to Horizon Play

Open the Options menu → Online → Horizon Play from the main menu.

Tip: You can also access it directly from the Festival Playlist, select the floor challenge, and press A to queue automatically for the right activity.

Step 2: Select Horizon Racing

Once in Horizon Play, choose Horizon Racing. This mode is perfect for speed skills because it features races with long stretches where you can hit top speeds.

Note: You don't have to win the race—just focus on reaching and maintaining high speed.

Step 3: Choose the Right Race

Avoid B-class or C-class cars and rally-style events. Instead, look for S2-class or higher races. These races allow you to reach 250 km/h faster and safely.

Tip: Early in the race, look for long straightaways—these are ideal for registering Great Speed Skills.

Step 4: Reach Great Speed

Accelerate on a straight section until your car reaches around 250 km/h. Maintain that speed for a few seconds without crashing.

Pro Tip: Stability and control matter. Colliding with walls or other cars will prevent the skill from registering.

Step 5: Repeat for Three Skills

You need three Great Speed Skills to complete the challenge. Either use multiple races or find three opportunities in a single Horizon Racing session to hit the required speeds.

Tip: Keep an eye on your speedometer and try different cars if your current one struggles to reach top speed.

Step 6: Exit Horizon Play

Once all three skills are banked, leave the Horizon Play session. You should automatically receive your Floor It seasonal challenge rewards, including credits and any special cars tied to the challenge.

Bonus: If you want to progress faster, platforms like SHANNENG offer safe ways to get cheap Forza Horizon 6 credits, helping you unlock cars and complete challenges quickly.

Extra Tips for Faster Completion

• Car choice matters: Use a fast, stable car suited for high-speed straights. Supercars or hypercars often reach 250 km/h faster than slower vehicles.
• Avoid risky routes: Colliding with walls or other cars can prevent the skill from registering.
• Use the Festival Playlist shortcut: If you access Horizon Racing via the seasonal challenge, the queue is automatic and optimized for the challenge's required activities.

Summary

To earn Great Speed Skills efficiently:

• Stick to S2-class or higher races.
• Use fast, stable cars on straightaways.
• Avoid collisions to ensure skills register.
• Complete three skills in Horizon Racing to finish the seasonal challenge.
