Counting Stars Challenge Overview
The “Counting Stars” challenge is a Daily Challenge featured during the Spring season of the Horizon Decades series in Forza Horizon 6. While the objective is simple—accumulate 6 stars at any Speed Trap—the car restriction requires a vehicle manufactured between 2010 and 2019.
To save time, you should aim for 3 stars on every run. While you could technically complete six 1-star runs, using a high-performance 2010s car like the Saleen S7 LM makes this unnecessary.
The Best Car and Tune
For this challenge, the 2017 Saleen S7 LM is the ideal choice. Most players will have already unlocked this car by earning 40 points earlier in the Spring Festival Playlist.
- No Tune Needed: The car can hit the 150 mph target for the Ito Speed Trap in its stock configuration.
- Custom Tune: If you want extra grip or acceleration to make the run even easier, you can apply the tune code: 119 073 359.
How to Clear the Ito Speed Trap
The Ito Speed Trap is one of the more accessible locations for this challenge. To ensure you hit the 3-star speed requirement of 150 mph consistently:
- Locate the Ito Speed Trap on your map.
- Set your starting point approximately 0.5 miles (800 meters) back from the trap to build sufficient momentum.
- Maintain a clean line through the approach to avoid losing speed on grass or barriers.
- Repeat the process once more to reach the 6-star total.
Completing this adds 1 point toward your series progress and grants a 5,000 credit bonus. If you are looking for more help with this season’s objectives, check out our other guides for the Horizon Decades series.
