As part of this week’s Theory of Evolution challenge in Forza Horizon 6’s Series 2, you need to earn three stars at the Festival Loop speed zone in the 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM. Finding this challenge on the very cluttered map is your first hurdle.
The second is nabbing the full three-star completion. While the Lancer is one of my favourite cars in the game, it’s not quite strong enough straight out of the garage. So here’s what I recommend.
Forza Horizon 6 Festival Loop speed zone location and how to beat it

You can find the Festival Loop speed zone at the far south side of the Horizon Festival grounds in the centre of the Ohtani region—you’re looking for the red sign icon with two cameras on it. This is a very short stretch of dirt (and snow during Winter) that cuts around the festival, with only two turns, and you can start it from either end of the road.
To complete the Theory of Evolution challenge on this course, you need to score three stars, which means maintaining an average of 90 mph. The standard B-class Lancer will struggle to do this, so I recommend upgrading it to S1 for added speed and handling—make sure you’ve got rally or snow tyres.
You can use the auto upgrade option, but I just quickly downloaded KapienPL’s dirt tuning, and it worked a treat. Here’s the share code: 129 741 033.
You can pretty safely stamp on the accelerator on the straights, but ease up a little going around the two corners to avoid spinning out or driving on the deeper snow. It’s a short speed zone so it’s not hard to maintain a high average speed as long as you stay on the dirt path.
