To earn Linked Drift skills in Forza Horizon 6, you must maintain a drift while in close proximity to other players who are also drifting. This guide explains how to complete the ‘Drift Tandem’ challenge within the Horizon Play hub to unlock the Meyers Manx 2.0 during the Winter season of the ‘Horizon Mascot Party’ Festival Playlist.
Key Takeaways
- Challenge Objective: Earn 3 Linked Drift skills during a Horizon Drift event.
- Best Car & Tune: Use the 2003 Honda S2000 with tune code 668 183 926 for an optimized drift build.
- Reward: Successfully completing this Horizon Play objective grants the 2023 Meyers Manx 2.0 and 3 Forzathon points.
- Fastest Method: Stay close to the pack; the skill triggers when you and a nearby driver drift simultaneously.
How to Complete the Drift Tandem Challenge
The ‘Drift Tandem’ objective is found within Horizon Play, the new centralized multiplayer hub in Forza Horizon 6. Unlike previous games, Horizon Play integrates directly with your campaign progression, making these Festival Playlist challenges essential for seasonal completion.
To find the event, navigate to the Horizon Play menu and select Horizon Drift. This mode places you in a free-for-all drifting environment where the goal is typically score-based, but for this specific ‘Horizon Mascot Party’ challenge, your focus is entirely on “Link” skills.
Earning Linked Drift Skills Fast
A Linked Drift skill is awarded when you perform a drift while a nearby player (whether in your Convoy or a random opponent) is also drifting. Because Horizon Drift events pack players into tight circuits like the Shirakawa Circuit, these skills trigger naturally if you stay near the middle of the pack.
If you are only playing to finish the Winter Festival Playlist, you can technically leave the event once the third “Linked Drift” notification appears on your UI. However, staying to finish the race will earn you additional Horizon Play experience and credits.
Recommended Car and Tune Code
While the car restriction is often defined by the specific lobby you join, the 2003 Honda S2000 is a standout choice for high-angle, controllable slides in Forza Horizon 6. Using a dedicated drift build ensures you have the power to maintain your line while adjusting your proximity to other drivers.
- Car: 2003 Honda S2000
