Forza Horizon 6 Speed Skills are very easy to earn, provided you've got a rapid car and plenty of room to get up to speed on a straight road. Sometimes, Festival Playlist challenges require you to earn "Great Speed Skills" and such. They're very easy to get in free roam if you zoom down a highway in a hypercar, but can be harder to earn in specific activities. If you need to get Speed Skills in FH6 for any challenges or Festival Playlist objectives, here's what you need to know.

How to get Forza Horizon 6 Speed Skills

To get any Speed Skill in Forza Horizon 6, you just need to drive fast, specifically above 100mph/161kmph for "a short distance", according to the in-game description. It works out as several seconds when you're actually driving, but the faster you drive, the faster you'll cover this short distance, letting you rack up Speed Skills quicker.

Like almost every other Skill in Forza Horizon 6, there are also multiple levels to Speed Skills based on how well you execute them. From my testing, this is how all the Speed Skills seem to work:

• Speed (100 points): Maintain a speed of over 100mph/161kmph
• Great Speed (150 points): Maintain a speed of over 150mph/241kmph
• Awesome Speed (250 points): Maintain a speed of over 175mph/282kmph
• Ultimate Speed (1,000 points): Maintain a speed of over 200mph/322kmph

Unsurprisingly, the fastest Forza Horizon 6 cars are great for getting Speed Skills, along with some of the best Forza Horizon 6 drag cars. So, if you're trying to get Speed Skills in free roam for a Festival Playlist challenge or to get a good Skill Chain score, you should drive one of these cars at full throttle along one of the straighter sections of highway that feature on the Japan map. And while you're driving around, keep an eye out for the Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Hunt.
