Forza Horizon 6 (FH6) co-op events like The Trial, Horizon Tour, and convoy challenges are all about teamwork. Unlike solo races, your goal isn’t just to cross the finish line first—it’s to help your entire team beat the AI. Here’s how to master these events and boost your team score.
Core Team Strategies
1. The "Block and Carry" Tactic
If you’re fast, overtake the lead AI, then use corners or technical sections to slow them down just enough. This gives your slower teammates room to pass the AI, earning more points for the whole team.
2. Respect the "Blue" Team
Always give teammates space at checkpoints. Crashing or cutting them off might help your individual ranking, but the team score is what matters. Protect your allies—it pays off more in the long run.
3. Use LINK Skills
FH6 introduces the LINK skill system, which rewards you and your convoy for synchronized actions, like drifting together. Plan your moves with teammates to earn XP and skill points faster.
4. Consider Early Exits
In tough events, being stuck at the back can hurt the team score. Sometimes quitting early removes your low points from the total, giving your team a better chance to win.
Optimized Vehicle Selection
Choosing the right car is key. For co-op, consistency beats raw speed because collisions, AI rubber-banding, and teammate pacing make control more valuable than top speed.
| Event Type | Recommended Class | Top Vehicle Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit / Road | S1 | BMW M4 GTS, McLaren 720S |
| Mixed Terrain | A to S1 | Jeep Trailcat, Hoonigan Ford RS200 |
| Retro / Starter | C | Toyota Celica GT4, Nissan Silvia S13 |
Pick cars with balanced handling, smooth acceleration, and stable braking. Avoid fragile supercars in tight co-op races—they’ll slow the team down if you crash.

Mindset for Co-Op Matchmaking
- “A teammate passing a checkpoint is more important than you beating the teammate.”
- “Sometimes, if teammates quit, it’s easier to secure the team score solo, but cooperation usually wins more consistently.”
Focus on coordination, not ego. Even small actions like letting a teammate through a tight corner or syncing drifts can swing the team score dramatically. Co-op success is all about timing, consistency, and supporting your convoy.
