Forza Horizon 6 Guts Glory Ram Weekly Challenge Guide

This guide explains how to complete the “Guts and Glory” weekly challenge in Forza Horizon 6, which requires you to earn a specific number of points in the Horizon Guts and Glory event using a Ram truck. You need to enter the event, score points by driving near other vehicles, and finish in the top three to claim the reward. Below is the full breakdown of the challenge, how scoring works, and the fastest way to finish it.

What Is the Guts and Glory Weekly Challenge?

In Forza Horizon 6, the weekly challenge (often called the Festival Playlist) is a set of tasks that rotate every seven days. One of the recurring tasks is the “Guts and Glory” challenge, which is tied to a specific race type introduced in the game. The challenge usually asks you to complete a certain number of races or achieve a specific score in the Guts and Glory event while driving a designated vehicle class—here, a Ram truck.

The challenge typically has four parts, each unlocking after the previous is done:

• Part 1: Own and drive any Ram truck (e.g., Ram 1500 Rebel TRX or Ram Power Wagon).
• Part 2: Win one Guts and Glory race in your Ram.
• Part 3: Earn a total of 10,000 points in Guts and Glory events (points are earned by near misses, drifting, and speed).
• Part 4: Finish a Guts and Glory race in the top 3 (or sometimes top 5) without rewinding.

The exact numbers can change from week to week, but the structure stays the same. The reward is usually a new car, a horn, or a clothing item.

How Guts and Glory Scoring Works

Guts and Glory is a special race mode where you are not just racing to the finish line—you are also collecting points by driving dangerously close to other cars, drifting, and maintaining high speed. The scoring system is as follows:

• Near Miss: +100 points for passing within a car’s length of another vehicle without hitting it.
• Drift: +50 points per second while sliding sideways at an angle above 30 degrees.
• Speed: +10 points per 10 km/h over 100 km/h (so at 200 km/h you get +100 points per second).
• Combo Multiplier: Each consecutive near miss or drift adds to a multiplier (x2, x3, etc.) that boosts all points earned.

The race ends after three laps, and your total score is added to your Festival Playlist progress. The key is to chain near misses and drifts without crashing, because hitting a wall or another car resets your multiplier to x1.

Choosing the Right Ram Truck

Not all Ram trucks are equal for this challenge. The best choice is the Ram 1500 Rebel TRX because it has the highest top speed and acceleration among Ram trucks. If you do not own it, you can buy it from the Autoshow for about 50,000 credits. The Ram Power Wagon is more off-road focused but slower on tarmac, making it harder to keep up with the AI in a Guts and Glory race.

Before starting the challenge, upgrade your Ram to at least A class (800 PI). A simple engine swap and sport tires will give you enough speed to win. You do not need a perfect tune—just make sure the car does not understeer too much, because you will need to swerve near opponents.

Step-by-Step Completion Strategy

1. Own a Ram: Go to the Autoshow and buy any Ram truck. If you already own one, skip to the next step.
2. Enter the Guts and Glory event: Open the map and look for the Guts and Glory icon (a purple flag with a skull). It is usually located near the main festival site. Select it and choose your Ram.
3. Win the race: On the first attempt, focus on winning. Do not worry about points—just finish first. You can use rewind if you make a mistake, but note that some weekly challenges require no rewinds for the final part.
4. Farm points: For the points requirement, you do not need to win. Start the race again, but this time drive slowly behind the AI pack. Weave left and right to get near misses. Each near miss gives you 100 points times your multiplier. Try to get a x5 multiplier by chaining five near misses without hitting anyone. You can earn 5,000-7,000 points in one race this way.
5. Finish top 3: For the final part, you need to finish in the top 3. If you are struggling, lower the difficulty to “Highly Skilled” or below. The AI will be slower, and you can easily overtake them on the last lap.

If you complete all four parts, the challenge is marked as done and you receive the reward instantly.

Common Problems and Fixes

Problem: The challenge does not progress. Make sure you are using a Ram truck, not a Dodge or Jeep. The game checks the exact make and model. Also, check that you have selected the correct event—there are two Guts and Glory events on the map (one for cars, one for trucks). Use the one that matches your vehicle class.

Problem: Points are not adding up. Points only count if you finish the race. If you quit mid-race, you lose all points earned. Also, the weekly challenge requires points from a single race, not cumulative across multiple races. So you need to earn the full 10,000 in one go. If you are short, try using a faster car or a better racing line to increase your speed points.

Problem: Cannot win the race. The AI in Guts and Glory is notoriously aggressive. Use the “rewind” feature to undo a crash, but be careful—some challenges disable rewind for the final part. If that is the case, lower the difficulty to “Average” or “Novice” for the final race.

Comparing Guts and Glory to Other Race Types

Guts and Glory is unique compared to standard races because it rewards risk-taking. In a normal race, you want to avoid contact. Here, you want to get as close as possible without touching. This makes it similar to the old “Near Miss” challenges from previous Forza games, but with a full race structure.

Compared to a traditional circuit race, Guts and Glory is shorter (3 laps instead of 5) but more intense. The AI cars are programmed to swerve and block, which actually helps you get near misses. The best strategy is to stay behind the pack for the first lap, farm points, then push for the lead in the final lap.

Costs and Rewards

The only cost is the price of a Ram truck if you do not already own one. The cheapest Ram is the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon at around 40,000 credits. The reward for completing the weekly challenge is usually a rare car (like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari) worth 200,000+ credits, so it is worth the effort. You also earn 5,000 XP and 2,500 CR for each part completed.

If you are short on credits, you can earn them quickly by doing a few street races or selling duplicate cars from your garage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use any Ram truck for the challenge?
A: Yes, any Ram model works, but the Rebel TRX is the best because of its speed. The Power Wagon is slower but still capable if you upgrade it.

Q: Do I need to win the race to get points?
A: No, you only need to finish the race. Points are earned during the race, not based on your position. However, finishing in the top 3 is required for the final part of the challenge.

Q: What is the fastest way to earn 10,000 points?
A: Drive behind the AI pack and weave to get near misses. Each near miss gives 100 points, and with a x5 multiplier you get 500 per miss. You can get 10,000 in about 2 laps if you are consistent.

Q: Why is my challenge not progressing even though I finished the race?
A: Check that you are in the correct event type. There are two Guts and Glory events—one for cars and one for trucks. Also, make sure you are using a Ram truck, not a modified version that changes the brand (e.g., a Ram with a different body kit is fine, but a Ram with a swapped engine is still a Ram).

Q: Can I rewind during the challenge?
A: For parts 1-3, yes. For part 4, the challenge may specify “no rewinds.” If it does, you cannot rewind, so you need to drive carefully. If you crash, you must restart the race.

Q: What if I don’t have enough credits to buy a Ram?
A: You can earn credits by completing other races or selling duplicate cars. A quick way is to do the weekly Forzathon challenge, which usually gives a car worth 100,000+ credits that you can sell.
