FH6 Online Multiplayer Guide
Online racing is a different beast from solo play. AI doesn't ram you — humans do. Here's how to win.
Horizon Open Modes
Open Racing
Standard PvP racing. Rotates between Road, Dirt, Cross Country, and Street. Classes rotate too — you need a competitive car for B, A, S1, and S2.
Open Drifting
Score-based drift competition against other players. Bring your best drift build and chain long, high-angle drifts. Consistency matters more than one big score.
The Eliminator
Battle royale with cars. 50 players, shrinking arena, head-to-head races to eliminate opponents. Start with a Beetle, upgrade by beating others or finding car drops.
Horizon Tour
Cooperative racing against AI. 6 players vs 6 drivatars. No pressure, good rewards, perfect for warming up or relaxing.
PvP Meta Cars
| Class | Meta Car | Why It's Meta |
|---|---|---|
| S2 Road | Koenigsegg Jesko / Ferrari F40 C | Top speed or handling — pick your poison |
| S1 Road | Porsche 911 GT3 RS / Ferrari 296 GTB | Handling dominates S1 road racing |
| S1 Dirt | Hoonigan RS200 Evo | Unbeatable on dirt, just accept it |
| A Road | Subaru WRX STI S209 / Toyota GR Supra | AWD grip or RWD agility |
| A Dirt | Subaru Impreza 22B | B-class dirt legend, surprisingly good in A |
| S1 Cross Country | Ford Bronco Raptor | Stability and speed over rough terrain |
Online Racing Tips
- Survive turn 1. The first corner of every online race is chaos. Hang back slightly, let the carnage happen ahead of you, then drive through the wreckage.
- Brake early, exit fast. Online races are won on corner exit, not corner entry. A clean exit with good speed beats a late brake every time.
- Don't retaliate. If someone rams you, don't chase them down. They'll crash themselves out eventually. Stay focused on your race.
- Learn the meta cars. You don't have to use them, but you need to know what you're racing against. A non-meta car with a perfect tune can still win.
- Tune for the track type. A Goliath tune (top speed focus) is useless on a tight city circuit. Have multiple tunes saved for each car.
