Learn about Forza Horizon 6 Rivals Mode, a time trial against other players' ghost cars. Beat rival times and earn rewards.

Rivals mode in Forza Horizon 6 functions like a multiplayer race, but instead of live opponents, you compete against a ghost car. This ghost car represents another player's previous performance and cannot be collided with; you will simply pass through it. Essentially, you are racing against a recording of another player's lap to beat their best time. This mode is accessed from the main menu and is not part of the career mode. When a new rival is recommended, you will receive an in-game message stating "New Rival Recommendation".

Tips
  • Focus on perfecting your own racing line to beat the ghost.
  • Pay attention to the ghost car's path on your minimap (a small map displayed on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap), showing your immediate surroundings and nearby cars).
  • Use Rivals mode to practice specific tracks and improve your personal best lap times.
