The Festival Loop Speed Zone in Forza Horizon 6 is a key location for players participating in the "Theory of Evolution" weekly challenge as part of the Horizon Decades series. This challenge specifically requires the use of the 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM Edition, a vehicle available for purchase in the Autoshow for 70,000 credits. To achieve the three-star rating necessary for the challenge, players will likely need to upgrade this car.
Locating the Festival Loop Speed Zone
The Festival Loop Speed Zone is situated south of the main Horizon Festival site within the Ohtani region. Despite its name, the zone is relatively short, traversing a section of road just below a roundabout. The name "loop" appears to be a slight misnomer given the zone's limited length.
Achieving Three Stars
To successfully achieve the required three-star rating at the Festival Loop Speed Zone, significant performance enhancements to the 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM Edition are often necessary. Players have reported success by using the game's auto-upgrade feature to elevate the car to S2 class. Equipping rally tires is also recommended to better handle the often snowy conditions encountered on the route. Even with these modifications, multiple attempts may be required.
Without upgrades, drivers may struggle to exceed 80 mph, falling short of the 90 mph threshold needed to earn three stars. The stock version of the car makes achieving the target speed particularly challenging.
Completing the "Theory of Evolution" Challenge
Once the Festival Loop Speed Zone challenge is completed, the next step in the "Theory of Evolution" weekly event involves winning a dirt race. The game map offers numerous opportunities to complete this objective. For players still needing to finish the second task of this challenge, guidance on locating the Sekibe Time Attack is available elsewhere.
