Checklists
The Weekly Challenge for Ready to Explore for Forza Horizon 6 has you working through four different tasks centered on the 2016 Ariel Nomad. You’ll be able to start the challenge after earning the Rookie Yellow wristband in the main story, though it’s possible the first task was already completed while you progressed through the campaign. Here’s everything you need to handle the Ready to Explore Weekly Challenge in Forza Horizon 6.
How to Complete Ready to Explore Weekly Challenge – All tasks
There are four tasks to complete for the Ready to Explore Weekly challenge in Forza Horizon 6. You can locate them in the Spring section within the Festival Playlist, which becomes available after you complete the Rookie Yellow Wristband event.
Ready to Explore Task 1: How to Get the 2016 Ariel Nomad
The first task is to buy the 2016 Ariel Nomad and make sure it’s in your garage. You can purchase it through the Autoshow. From the main menu, open the Autoshow and go to the Cars area.
Inside the Autoshow, look for the Ariel Nomad under the Ariel category. It should appear as the first purchase option available to you. The price is 54,000 Credits.
After purchasing it, your next step is simply to get behind the wheel and drive it. You only need to spend a short amount of time driving to satisfy the initial requirement, and then you can immediately move to the next task.
Ready to Explore Task 2: Earn 6 Stars at Trailblazers
For the second part, you need to earn up to 6 stars at Trailblazer events while driving the 2016 Ariel Nomad. Trailblazers are activities that show up on your map when you have the Green Wristband equipped. That wristband unlocks after completing the Green Wristband required race and reaching at least 2,500 Horizon Points.
Head to any Trailblazer starting location marked on your world map, then begin the run by crossing through the standing flags. Your goal is to reach the finish point before the time limit expires, and faster completion is always beneficial.
Because Task 2 requires at least 6 stars, you’ll need to complete at least two Trailblazer events and earn perfect results across them. One approach is to run the same Trailblazer twice to meet the star requirement—if you’re comfortable with a specific Trailblazer route, repeating it still counts toward the weekly total. Once you’ve hit the target stars, you can proceed to the next weekly task.
Ready to Explore Task 3: Earn 2 Crash Landing Skills
The third task requires two Crash Landing Skill completions. You earn Crash Landing Skills by taking your car through a large jump and then having it crash into the ground. While the concept is simple, it can be a bit finicky to hit the right kind of landing that actually triggers the skill.
A reliable method is to target Danger Sign activities. You can find them on your world map and filter your map view to make them easier to locate.
Danger Sign events are built around launching your vehicle off a jump and traveling a set distance. Even if the Aerial Nomad isn’t the fastest tool for the job, these jumps tend to provide a solid ramp to launch from. If you manage to stick the landing after the jump, you’ll trigger the Crash Landing Skill.
You can attempt this at any Danger Sign you find on the map, as long as you have enough runway to build speed before launching. To ensure the skill activates, aim for an object as you land and try to make contact when you touch down—this is what helps confirm the Crash Landing Skill trigger.
Do this two times, then you’ll be ready to tackle the fourth and final task in the Ready to Explore Weekly challenge.
Ready to Explore Task 4: Win a Cross Country Race
For the Cross Country portion, you can complete any of the available competitions shown on your map.
If it’s your first time doing these Cross Country races, make sure the Ariel Nomad is eligible to use in your event. If it isn’t available yet, you’ll need to complete the race at least once first. After that, the event can be customized so the Ariel Nomad becomes a car both you and your opponents can use. The custom race setup also lets you reduce the difficulty, which improves your chances of taking first place with the vehicle.
Once you’ve chosen the Cross Country race you want, start it and push to finish in first place to secure the win. Completing that victory finishes the fourth and final task of the Ready to Explore Weekly Challenge, letting you move on to the other Spring season activities.
