Highly Skilled

Unlock the secrets to becoming 'Highly Skilled' in Forza Horizon. This guide covers everything from festival progression and race events to PR stunts and collectibles.

The 'Highly Skilled' aspect of Forza Horizon revolves around progression within the Horizon Festival. To advance, players must participate in and win various Festival Events and Showcase races, which increases their popularity rank.

• Race Events: Completing these events is crucial for increasing popularity and unlocking new content.
• Sponsor Challenges: Stunt-based challenges offered by sponsors that reward players with bonus credits upon completing ten ranks.
• PR Stunts: Promotional events found at Horizon Outposts that offer discounts on fast travel. These include photo shoots, speed traps, and skill chain stunts.
