FH6 PR Stunts Guide — Drift Zones, Speed Traps, Danger Signs

PR Stunts are Forza Horizon 6’s signature open-world challenges, scattered across the Japan map. Five types test different driving skills: sustained drift angles, top-speed hits, sustained speed runs, jump distances, and precise gate racing. There are over 200 PR Stunts at launch, and 3-starring all of them is one of the most rewarding (and time-consuming) Accolade categories in the game. This guide covers each stunt type, the best cars for each, and the strategies to consistently hit 3-star ratings.

1. The Five Stunt Types

Drift Zones (~60 across Japan)

Drift Zones require sustained drift angles through a marked zone. The 3-star score threshold varies by zone, but most require 50,000-100,000 points per zone. Higher-tier zones (S2-class) require 200,000+ points.

• Best cars — Mazda RX-7 FD3S, Nissan Silvia S13/S14/S15, Toyota AE86, Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5
• Best setup — RWD, high power (600+ hp), rear-biased tire width, sport suspension with stiff rear ARB
• Technique — initiate the drift early in the zone, hold the angle through the entire length, and avoid straightening the wheel before the zone ends

Speed Traps (~50 across Japan)

Speed Traps require hitting a one-time speed threshold through a marked camera gate. The 3-star score threshold varies by trap, but most require 250-300+ mph (400-480 km/h) at S2-class.

• Best cars — Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Jesko, Hennessey Venom F5, SSC Tuatara
• Best setup — S2-class 998, top-speed optimized, minimal downforce, longest gearing possible
• Technique — approach the trap from as long a straight as possible, build speed for 1-2 miles before the trap, hit the trap at full throttle

Speed Zones (~30 across Japan)

Speed Zones require sustaining a minimum speed through a longer marked stretch (vs. Speed Traps’ one-time hit). The 3-star thresholds are lower than Speed Traps but the sustained requirement makes them harder.

• Best cars — same as Speed Traps (hypercars), but also high-power GT cars like the McLaren 720S and Ferrari 812
• Best setup — S1 or S2-class, balanced aero, race transmission for sustained high-speed cornering
• Technique — maintain 200+ mph through the entire zone, lift slightly in corners, full throttle on straights

Danger Signs (~40 across Japan)

Danger Signs require hitting a ramp at sufficient speed and angle to fly a minimum distance. The 3-star thresholds range from 500 ft (150 m) to 1,500+ ft (450+ m).

• Best cars — hypercars for maximum distance; off-road tuned trucks (Baja Buggy, Trophy Truck) for specialized jumps
• Best setup — S2-class for hypercar jumps, off-road suspension for truck jumps, minimal weight, max power
• Technique — approach the ramp at full throttle, launch at the ramp’s takeoff point (not before), keep the car straight in the air, land smoothly to avoid crashing

Trailblazers (~20 across Japan)

Trailblazers require racing through a series of marked gates in sequence, against the clock. The 3-star thresholds are based on finishing within a target time.

• Best cars — Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi EVO, Audi Quattro, Porsche 959 (AWD rally cars handle best in mixed-surface Trailblazers)
• Best setup — AWD, balanced suspension, all-terrain tires for mixed surfaces
• Technique — learn the gate sequence, hit each gate as close to center as possible, use the AWD grip to power through corners without lifting

2. Region-by-Region Stunt Counts

FH6’s Japan map is divided into five regions. Each region has a different stunt density:

• Tokyo — urban stunts focused on Speed Zones and Drift Zones. ~40 stunts.
• Kyoto — mixed stunts with strong Drift Zone and Trailblazer density. ~50 stunts.
• Osaka — street racing focused, strong Speed Trap and Speed Zone density. ~30 stunts.
• Hokkaido — rural stunts focused on Danger Signs and Trailblazers. ~50 stunts.
• Okinawa — coastal stunts with strong Danger Sign and Speed Trap density. ~30 stunts.

3. 3-Star Strategy by Stunt Type

Drift Zones — Angle + Duration

To 3-star a Drift Zone, you need to hold a high angle (45°+) for the entire zone length. Three failure modes to avoid:

• Straightening too early — the drift ends at the zone’s end gate. Don’t straighten the wheel until you cross the gate, even if the score counter says you’ve hit the threshold.
• Spinning out — over-correction at high angle causes spinouts. Use the handbrake to initiate, then modulate throttle to maintain angle.
• Too slow — drifting at 30 mph gives fewer points than drifting at 60 mph. Maintain speed through the entire zone.

Speed Traps — Approach Matters

Speed Traps are won by the approach, not the trap itself. You need to be at maximum speed when you cross the camera gate, which means 1-2 miles of straight-line acceleration before the trap. Use the map’s road network to plan your approach — look for long straights leading into the trap.

Danger Signs — Speed + Angle of Attack

For maximum jump distance, you need both speed and the correct angle of attack. Too steep an angle and the car noses down on landing; too shallow and you don’t get enough air. The optimal approach is full throttle at the ramp, with the car’s nose slightly raised by the ramp’s geometry. Mid-air, keep the car straight — sideways landings count as crashes.

Trailblazers — Gate Sequences

Trailblazers reward gate precision. Hit each gate as close to center as possible — wider gates award more time bonus. Use the AWD grip to power through tight corners without lifting; the time penalty for slowing down is worse than the time saved by cutting corners. Brake boost on long straights between gates.

4. Credit Farming — Why 3-Starring PR Stunts Is Worth It

3-starring all PR Stunts is one of the most efficient credit-farming methods in FH6. The math:

• 200+ stunts at 3 stars = ~5,000,000 credits average per run
• 5-10 hours to 3-star all stunts (depending on skill)
• 500,000-1,000,000 credits per hour effective rate
• Bonus — completing all stunts unlocks exclusive cars (including a unique S2-class hypercar at full completion) and Accolade points

For comparison, traditional credit farming (auction house flipping, wheel spin grinding) yields ~200,000-400,000 credits per hour. PR Stunt completion is the most efficient credit-farming method for skilled players.

5. Common PR Stunt Mistakes

1. Using the wrong car for the stunt type. A hypercar is great for Speed Traps but useless for Drift Zones. Match the car to the stunt.
2. Not learning the gate sequences for Trailblazers. Trailblazers reward gate precision. Replay the Trailblazer a few times to learn the sequence before attempting 3-star.
3. Approaching Speed Traps at the wrong angle. A cross-traffic Speed Trap requires a 90° turn at full speed. Plan your approach to enter the trap from the correct direction.
4. Spinning out in Drift Zones. Over-correction at high angle causes spinouts. Use the handbrake to initiate, then modulate throttle — don’t fight the car.
5. Sideways landings in Danger Signs. Sideways landings count as crashes. Keep the car straight in the air by tapping the steering to correct any rotation.
