The Fastest Way to Photograph All the Forza Horizon 6 Cars

If you’ve poked your head into the Horizon Promo section of the Collection Journal, you already know the scale of the grind. Forza Horizon 6 asks you to photograph somewhere north of 600 different cars — and doing it the “intended” way, by snapping passing traffic out on the streets of Japan and at race start lines, is a slog that can drag on for days.

There’s a much faster way. A Forza player and Redditor named u/Riko0Ku built a complete set of custom EventLab races that pack almost every car in the game onto the starting grid, sorted by performance class. Enter a code, jump into Photo Mode the second the race loads, and you can register a fistful of new cars in seconds. Rinse and repeat through the list and you’ll demolish most of the Promo in an afternoon instead of a fortnight.

Here’s exactly how to do it.

What Horizon Promo actually is

Horizon Promo is a collection challenge baked into the Collection Journal. Every new car you capture in Photo Mode gets added to your collection and pays out 10 Festival points, which feed into your Wristband rewards and your march toward 100%. The catch is the sheer volume getting there organically means hunting down models that may not show up in traffic or for sale for a very long time.

That’s the problem Riko0Ku’s share codes solve.

The method, step by step

The whole trick relies on EventLab custom races. When you start one, the AI grid fills with cars, and you can photograph every single one of them right there at the start line before anyone moves.

1. Open the main menu and tab over to the Creative Hub.
2. Select EventLab, then Play Event.
3. Hit the Search button at the bottom of the screen.
4. Find the Share Code box and punch in one of Riko0Ku’s codes.
5. Choose to race Solo.
6. For your car, pick a vehicle in that class with a Performance Index as close to stock as possible (ideally the highest-PI distinctive car of the class). This nudges the AI into choosing the widest variety of models for the grid.
7. Start the race, then immediately open Photo Mode — D-Pad Up on controller, P on PC.
8. Photograph every car sitting on the starting grid.
9. Exit the race, load the next share code, and repeat.

Because the list is split by performance class, working through it top to bottom sweeps up the bulk of the roster with almost no wasted time and zero map hunting.

A few pro tips to squeeze out more cars

• Vary your own car between runs. Swapping the vehicle you bring into each race shifts the grid composition and shakes loose models you haven’t captured yet.
• Take a couple of angles. Occasionally a car won’t register if it’s partly blocked by another vehicle. A second shot from a slightly different position fixes it.
• Make sure the car is actually in frame. It sounds obvious, but it’s easy to fire off a shot where the model is buried in the background and gets ignored.
• Restart the game if something stops registering. The classic off-and-on-again routine clears up a surprising number of Forza hiccups.

The limitations (and how to mop up the stragglers)

This method is fast, but it won’t hand you a literal 100% completion on its own. EventLab can only spawn cars that are generally available in the game, so anything still locked behind progression, pre-order bonuses, promotional rewards, or DLC won’t appear on these grids.

For those holdouts, you’ll have to go the manual route:

• Buy, photograph, sell. Grab a car from the dealer, snap it in your garage, and sell it back. Cheap models barely dent your credits.
• Wheelspins and Barn Finds. When a rare car turns up, photograph it immediately before you forget it’s even there.
• Multiplayer encounters. You’ll often run into other players driving the exact rare models you’re missing.
• Festival Playlist prizes. Some of the rarest vehicles cycle through as seasonal rewards, where they can also be photographed.

The honest grind for Horizon Promo is brutal. Riko0Ku’s EventLab share codes turn the worst collection challenge in the game into a quick, satisfying checklist, most of your 600-plus cars knocked out in a single sitting, with only a handful of locked specials left to chase the old-fashioned way.

Big credit to u/Riko0Ku for assembling and sharing the codes. Drop into the Reddit thread, copy the list, and get snapping.
