Another day, another festival playlist challenge to knock out. Today we are looking at the "Eat My Dust" Daily Challenge in Forza Horizon 6. The requirement looks straightforward on paper: you need to earn 6 Pass skills during any Dirt Race and bank them successfully. However, if you try to do this during a standard, highly competitive race, it can take way longer than it needs to. Between aggressive AI drivers and the game's notorious tracking hiccups, a simple daily can quickly turn into a frustrating chore.
If you want to clear this off your checklist in just a few minutes and get back to doing what you actually want to do, here is the absolute fastest way to guarantee it registers.
The secret to cheese this challenge is manipulating the AI pacing and giving yourself maximum breathing room to pass cleanly. Just follow this exact sequence:
Select a Proper Dirt Race Pull up your map and filter for Dirt Racing series events. Drive over to a standard event like the Airfield Trail or Sendero de King Kakuji. Just make sure you do not accidentally pick a Cross Country race, as truck and buggy events do not qualify for this specific daily challenge.
Tank the Difficulty Before you launch the event, go into your settings menu and drop the Drivatar difficulty all the way down to Tourist. This turns the normally aggressive AI into absolute turtles, making them move significantly slower down the track.
Drop to Dead Last When the green light drops, do not touch the throttle. Just sit right there on the starting line and watch all 11 of your opponents drive away. Let them get a decent head start before you begin moving.
Get Your Clean Passes Throttle up and start picking them off one by one. The key word here is clean. You must overtake them without ramming their back bumpers or slamming them into the barriers. If you clip an opponent too hard, the game registers it as a dirty collision and will deny you the Pass skill notification.
Bank the Score Chain Once you have cleanly overtaken a cluster of cars, let go of the gas or drive smoothly in a straight line for a brief moment. You need to wait for the skill score chain at the top of your screen to disappear and tick up your total bank. If you hit a wall or another car before that number clears, the entire chain breaks, and your progress for those passes is completely lost.
Loop Back if Needed If you run out of track or pass the entire grid before hitting your 6 required skills, simply pull over to the side, wait for the AI pack to overtake you again, and repeat the process. Once you have banked everything, make sure to cross the finish line in 1st place to lock in the tracking validation.
If you have been playing Forza Horizon 6 for a minute, you already know that seasonal daily challenges love to glitch out. Plenty of players have reported running perfect dirt races only to find the tracker stuck at zero. If the game is acting up for you, try these community-proven fixes to force a refresh:
The Mid-Race Restart Trick: Start the race, wait at the line to let the AI pass you, and then immediately hit pause and restart the event from the menu. For some reason, manually restarting the instance right at the beginning often forces the game engine to kickstart the tracking logic.
Ditch Your Convoy: Check your online status. If you are currently messing around in an active multiplayer convoy, the seasonal tracking system can bug out entirely. Back out to solo play before jumping into the dirt race.
Reboot the App: When all else fails, do a hard reset. Completely shut down the Forza Horizon 6 game app, clear it from your quick resume if you are on console, or kill the process on PC, and relaunch. This clears out the stuck cache and usually fixes the festival playlist integration immediately.
