Forza Horizon 6 Drift Trick Lets Players Score Huge Points by Doing Donuts
Drift Zones in Forza Horizon 6 are meant to test precision, car control, and the ability to hold a clean slide through a full course. For many players, they are also one of the most frustrating challenges in the game, especially when chasing the 3-star rating needed for completion goals and rewards.
Now, players have discovered a much easier way to stack up drift points, and it does not involve mastering every corner of the route. Instead, the trick is surprisingly simple: find an open area inside the Drift Zone, start spinning the car in tight circles, and keep doing donuts until the score climbs.
According to gameplay shared by the community, this method can generate massive drift scores without requiring players to follow the intended racing line. In one example, a player repeatedly drifted in circles and quickly pushed the score beyond 250,000 points, making the 3-star target far easier to reach.
The discovery has sparked plenty of debate among Forza Horizon 6 players. Some see the donut method as a welcome shortcut, especially for anyone who struggles with drifting or simply wants to clear difficult Drift Zones without spending hours tuning cars and practicing routes. For casual players, it can feel like a relief rather than a cheat.
Others are not as impressed. Critics argue that the trick removes the challenge that Drift Zones are supposed to provide. If players can ignore the course and farm points by spinning in place, leaderboard rankings become less meaningful, and the skill-based nature of drifting takes a hit.
Because this method likely was not intended by the developers, there is a good chance it could be adjusted in a future Forza Horizon 6 update. One possible fix would be for the game to stop counting drift points if a car circles in one small area for too long or fails to make meaningful progress along the actual Drift Zone route. That would force players to return to proper drifting while still allowing creative driving styles.
For now, the donut trick remains one of the easiest ways to earn high drift scores in Forza Horizon 6. Players who want to complete Drift Zones quickly may want to try it before it is patched. However, those who prefer the satisfaction of earning 3 stars the traditional way can still improve their chances with the right car setup, careful throttle control, and smart tuning.
One vehicle currently getting attention from the community is the Honda Acty, which has become an unexpected favorite for drifting. With the right upgrades and tuning, it can help players handle Drift Zones more consistently, whether they are chasing leaderboard times or simply trying to clear every challenge on the map.
