Beating the Offroad Scramble Trial in Forza Horizon 6 requires more than just raw speed; it demands a nimble car that can handle the tight, twisty trails of the Summer season in the Horizon Mascot Party series. While the Subaru BRZ Forza Edition might look tempting, this guide reveals why a smaller off-roader like the Ariel Nomad is the superior choice for securing your 10 Forzathon points against Unbeatable Drivatars.
Key Takeaways
- The Challenge: A-Class “Total Buggy” or “Off-road” car restriction on twisty trail tracks.
- Best Car Choice: Avoid bulky vehicles like the BRZ FE; use the 2016 Ariel Nomad for better agility.
- Winning Tune: Apply Tune Code 130 978 895 to the Ariel Nomad for optimal acceleration and handling.
- Team Strategy: Block AI Drivatars to help teammates pass; collective points are the only way to win.
- Reward: 10 Forzathon points and progression in the Horizon Mascot Party series.
Understanding The Trial: Offroad Scramble
The Trial remains the most difficult co-operative event in Forza Horizon 6. To participate, players must have reached Horizon Legend status and unlocked the Gold Wristband (32,500 Festival Points). In the “Offroad Scramble” event, you face off against a team of six Unbeatable AI Drivatars across a best-of-three series. Because the scoring is team-based, your individual position only matters if it helps the Blue Team outscore the Red Team.
Car Selection: Why the Subaru BRZ FE Struggles
In this week’s Summer Playlist, the car restriction is broad—any A-Class Off-road or Buggy vehicle is eligible. However, as demonstrated in the video, the 2022 Subaru BRZ Forza Edition is a poor fit for these specific tracks. While powerful, its wide body and bulkier frame make it difficult to navigate the narrow, technical sections of the Takashiro Trail and Sunflower Scramble. Missing a single checkpoint in a heavy car can be a race-ender, requiring a near-impossible recovery to score points for your team.
The Best A-Class Off-road Tune for The Trial
To make your victory much smoother, we recommend swapping the BRZ for the 2016 Ariel Nomad. Its lightweight chassis and high power-to-weight ratio allow for much faster recovery if you make a mistake.
- Car: 2016 Ariel Nomad
- Tune Code: 130 978 895
This build focuses on acceleration and suspension travel, allowing you to soak up the bumps of the Sunflower Scramble without losing traction or missing those tight gates.

Trial Tips for Success
If you find yourself struggling against the Unbeatable Drivatars, remember that aggressive defense is often better than pure speed. Once you pass an AI driver, try to slow them down (without crashing your teammates) to let the rest of the Blue Team catch up. If your team loses the first race, don’t quit—the AI often performs differently on the second and third tracks, and a comeback is always on the cards.
