The FH6 British Automotive Takeover is the main garage event in Forza Horizon 6’s British Automotive series. It brings direct dealership deals near Horizon Stadium, while the Festival Playlist adds new British reward cars across four weeks. Drift Attack is also live now, so this update is not just for collectors. It also gives drifters a permanent reason to visit Shimanoyama Circuit.
What The British Automotive Update Adds
The British Automotive update became available on September 7 at 5:00 PM UTC. The Festival Playlist begins on September 10 at 2:30 PM UTC. That split is important because Drift Attack is available first, while playlist reward chasing starts later. You can use the early window to check the update and prepare your garage.
This series focuses on British engineering across dealership deals and playlist rewards.
- The update adds three new-to-Horizon Festival Playlist cars.
- It also adds four new-to-Horizon Car Pass cars for players who own Car Pass.
- You also get clothing rewards and a Lionheart Player Badge during the series.
Where To Find The Takeover
The FH6 British Automotive Takeover happens at the Aftermarket dealership near Horizon Stadium. That location sits in the Shimanoyama region, which also matters because Drift Attack is based nearby. You can visit the dealership and buy selected British cars directly.
You get rare cars tied to Wheelspins due to this dealership. It includes:
- 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
- 1961 Jaguar E-type
Important Deals
Wheelspin-only cars can be frustrating because you cannot fully control the result. You might get the car quickly, or you might keep missing it. That makes the FH6 British Automotive Takeover valuable for anyone building a serious British garage. It gives you a chance to buy cars directly instead of gambling on luck.
Drift Attack Is Now Part Of The Series
Drift Attack is the biggest gameplay feature in this update. It turns Shimanoyama Circuit into a permanent Drift Attack circuit. You enter by driving through the gantry from the open world. There is no separate loading screen, so the mode feels quick and natural.
The mode works like Time Attack for drifters. You chase drift points in a single lap instead of chasing lap time. Clipping Zones boost points when you drift inside their boundaries. Drift Attack also supports in-world leaderboards and Convoy leaderboards to make it more competitive.
Drift Attack Rewards
Drift Attack is linked to the Horizon Festival Campaign. You unlock it by obtaining the Yellow Wristband. By completing Drift Attack in the Collection Journal, you can earn the Drift Attack Racesuit. You can also earn the Drift Attack Helmet.
The biggest reward is the 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition. It is fully customized and built for drifting. A stock version of the same car has also been added to the Autoshow. That gives tuners a clean base car and gives drifters a ready reward build.
Festival Playlist Cars To Track
The British Automotive Festival Playlist includes 10 Series Reward cars. Three of them are new-to-Horizon, which makes them the biggest collection targets.
- 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed
- 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior
- 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR
The 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT returns during the Autumn season and among the favorites from the previous games. The 2002 Lotus Esprit V8 will appear during Spring. You also have two Wheelspin-exclusive reward cars in the playlist lineup.
First Big Target: Bentley Continental GT Speed
This car is the 80 PTS series reward. It is available from September 10 to October 8. It is new-to-Horizon so you should try to get this one. It is also a full-series reward, so you need consistent playlist progress. It’s a strong road option for players who like high-power luxury builds.
Biggest Grind: Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car
The 2019 Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car is the 160 PTS reward. This is the serious grind target of the FH6 British Automotive Takeover season. It runs from September 10 to October 8, so you have the full series window. Still, you should not leave it until the final week.
If you want the most extreme British performance prize here, this is the car to chase.
Weekly 20 PTS Cars
The 20 PTS seasonal cars are easier to secure than full-series rewards.
- The 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior is available from September 10 to September 17. It’s a light, simple reward for the first week.
- The 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT arrives from September 17 to September 24.
- The 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR runs from September 24 to October 1.
- The 2002 Lotus Esprit V8 closes the weekly 20 PTS run. It appears from October 1 to October 8.
These weekly cars should be your first playlist habit because their windows are shorter.
Weekly 40 PTS Cars
The 40 PTS cars give stronger weekly targets for players with more time.
- The 2021 McLaren 620R is available during Summer from September 10 to September 17. It is a great pick for road racing builds.
- The 2021 MINI John Cooper Works GP appears during Autumn. It runs from September 17 to September 24.
- The 2016 Bentley Bentayga appears during Winter from September 24 to October 1.
- The 2023 Lotus Emira appears during Spring from October 1 to October 8.
Best Priority Order
Start with the dealership first. The rare Wheelspin cars are the easiest to miss if you ignore the FH6 British Automotive Takeover location. Check for the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera first. Then check for the Jaguar E-type.
After that, focus on weekly 20 PTS rewards. Their windows close faster than the full-series rewards. Once those are safe, push toward the 40 PTS cars. Then keep building total points for the Bentley and Valhalla.
Car Pass Highlights
Car Pass players get four new-to-Horizon cars during this series.
- The 2025 McLaren W1 arrives on September 10.
- The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 arrives on September 17.
- The 1998 Renault Sport Spider arrives on September 24.
- The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe ‘Luftauto 002’ arrives on October 1.
These cars are added weekly for Car Pass owners at no extra in-game cost.
Extra Rewards To Claim
The Retro Racesuit comes from Week 1’s #JaguarSnap Photo Challenge. The Classic Jacket comes from Week 2’s Seasonal Hide & Seek. These are smaller rewards, but they are easy to miss when everyone focuses only on cars.
The Lionheart Player Badge is available during the British Automotive series. You can earn it by playing Forza Horizon 6 during this playlist period. Week 2 also adds the Drift Tire Mascot Collectible in Shimanoyama. Smash it while you are already near Drift Attack.

Conclusion
The FH6 British Automotive Takeover is best handled with a clear plan. Check the Aftermarket dealership first because rare Wheelspin cars may appear there. Then lock down weekly 20 PTS cars before their short windows close.
After that, chase the 40 PTS rewards and build toward the full-series targets. The Bentley Continental GT Speed is the 80 PTS prize. The Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car is the 160 PTS grind. Drift Attack gives the update extra life while your garage fills up.

FAQs
Should You Spend Credits At The Takeover First?
You need to check the takeover dealership before spending elsewhere. Rare Wheelspin cars deserve priority because their normal unlock path depends on luck. If you see a car you usually cannot buy directly, consider grabbing it first. Autoshow cars are easier to revisit later when your Credit stack recovers.
Which Reward Type Should Casual Players Chase?
Casual players should focus on weekly 20 PTS cars first. Those rewards need less playlist grinding than the 80 PTS and 160 PTS targets. This gives you real collection progress without turning the series into homework. After that, push higher only when you have extra playtime.
Is Drift Attack Required For British Car Rewards?
Drift Attack is part of the update. It has its own Collection Journal rewards. The Festival Playlist has its own car targets. You should still try Drift Attack because it unlocks useful drifting rewards and adds extra progression.
Are Car Pass Cars Better Than Playlist Cars?
They serve different players. Car Pass cars arrive weekly for owners and do not need playlist points. Playlist cars reward active grinding during the series. The McLaren W1 is a huge Car Pass highlight. Still, collectors should not ignore the new-to-Horizon playlist cars.
