How do you unlock Goliath race in Forza Horizon 6?

Goliath race returns across the full map

Forza Horizon 6 is bringing back the “Goliath” race format, and it’s once again positioned as one of the biggest driving challenges in the game. The event takes you on a course that spans essentially the entire map, following the same “go the distance” structure as earlier Goliath races.

What’s changed is the setting: instead of a previous region, the Goliath race in Forza Horizon 6 is set around Japan. That matters because the race route is designed to showcase the breadth of the game’s world—so you should expect a long-running tour through different areas rather than a tight circuit.

The story doesn’t include the specific in-game steps needed to unlock the Goliath race (such as which menu, story milestone, festival playlist tier, or prerequisite race triggers it). That means the only safe, confirmed details are about the race concept and where it takes place.

Why it matters

• It’s the return of a signature large-scale race type.
• It’s structured to be a whole-map endurance event.
• It highlights Japan’s landscape and regions.

If you’re trying to find it quickly, the most practical approach is to search your Horizon Festival event screens for anything labeled “Goliath,” and check for the Japan-region event pages. But as of the provided coverage, the exact unlocking condition wasn’t specified, so players will need to discover it in-game based on the game’s current event progression rules.
