Earning 3 stars for the ‘Blaze of Glory’ Daily Challenge in Forza Horizon 6 requires you to complete any Trailblazer while driving a car from the 2000s. The most efficient way to finish this Horizon Decades Winter event is using the free Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI at the Kodachi Descent Trailblazer.
Key Takeaways
- The Objective: Earn 3 stars at any Trailblazer using a car manufactured between 2000–2009.
- Best Car: 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM Edition (Unlocked via the Yellow Wristband in Career mode).
- Tune Code: Use 605 795 657 to easily clear the 27-second remaining requirement.
- Reward: 1 Festival Playlist Point and 5,000 Credits.
Choosing the Right Car and Tune
While the challenge allows any car from the 2000s, the 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM Edition is the ideal choice for this Winter Festival Playlist objective. Most players will already have this car in their garage, as it is a guaranteed reward for earning the Yellow Wristband during the primary Forza Horizon 6 Career progression.
To ensure you hit the 3-star target in a single run, apply the custom tune (Code: 605 795 657). This build optimizes the Lancer’s off-road stability and acceleration, which are critical for navigating the uneven terrain of the Kodachi Descent.
3-Star Strategy for Kodachi Descent Trailblazer
To earn 3 stars at the Kodachi Descent Trailblazer, you must cross the finish line with at least 27 seconds left on the clock. Because this is a Daily Challenge, you can technically accumulate stars over multiple runs (e.g., earning 1 star three times), but using this guide will allow you to complete the challenge in one attempt.
Route Planning Tips
The “Blaze of Glory” challenge is significantly easier if you pre-plan your line through the trees. Before starting the gate, open your map and set a waypoint on the destination. This provides a constant UI marker on your mini-map, helping you maintain a straight heading when the dense foliage obscures the finish line.
Focus on maintaining momentum by avoiding heavy braking. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI is capable of absorbing most of the bumps at Kodachi Descent, provided you keep your steering inputs smooth. If you find yourself losing too much time to collisions, remember that you can use the Rewind feature to correct your line without failing the challenge.
Completing these Daily Challenges is the best way to clean up any remaining points needed for the Winter season rewards. If you are looking for more help with the Horizon Decades series, check out our other guides for this week’s stunt and championship events.
