Irokawa Quarter Mile Drag Meet Requirements
The Irokawa Quarter Mile Drag Meet is a key challenge in the Forza Horizon 6 “Italian Exotics” Series (Autumn Playlist). To earn the gold completion, you must enter with an Italian car tuned to the top of S1 Class (PI 900). While several cars can technically meet the sub-10 second goal, the 2013 Ferrari 458 Speciale is currently the most reliable choice for this specific drag strip.
Best Ferrari 458 Speciale Drag Tune (S1 Class)
The 458 Speciale balances mid-engine traction with high-end acceleration, making it perfect for the quarter-mile. If you don’t already own the car, you can win it this week by completing “The Trial: Racing Horses” elsewhere in the Festival Playlist.
Apply the following tune to guarantee a sub-9 second run:
- Tune Code: 997 302 959
- Class: S1 900
- Purpose: Drag Racing (Optimized Transmission and Tire Pressure)
The 4,000 RPM Launch Technique
Hitting the 10-second requirement is simple, but getting into the 8-second range requires a specific starting technique. Based on our testing in Forza Horizon 6, if you floor the throttle immediately, you will encounter excessive wheelspin. Conversely, starting at too low an RPM causes the engine to “bog” down.
The Pro Tip: Manually hold your revs at roughly 4,000 RPM. Release the handbrake on the “Go” signal to ensure the Ferrari hooks up instantly without losing speed to spinning tires.
Completing this objective will net you 3 Forzathon Points and a Wheelspin. For more help with this week’s playlist, check out our other guides for the Italian Exotics series.
