Forza Horizon 6: How to Unlock the Mech Race Event
With Forza Horizon 6 currently in early access for Premium Edition owners, players diving into Japan ahead of launch were met with one of the game's biggest surprises yet - a massive cinematic mech race known as ‘Mech My Day.' The showcase event, which features a towering robot called Chaser Zero, has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments in the game as players search for exactly how to unlock it through the returning wristband progression system.
How to Unlock the Mech Race
To access the ‘Mech My Day' showcase, players need to complete Horizon Festival races and activities across Japan to earn points and progress through the Green Wristband.
The fastest way to progress includes:
- Completing Horizon Festival races and activities
- Finishing road, dirt, and drag events across Japan
- Earning points toward Green Wristband progression
- Using the GPS guidance system to quickly reach new events
Once the Green Wristband progression is filled, the Mech My Day showcase appears on the map as a major campaign race that players must complete to unlock the Blue Wristband.
What Happens During the Event
The race introduces Chaser Zero, a massive mech that quickly stands out as one of the wildest moments in the game's campaign.
The event itself is heavily cinematic and scripted, sending players through highways and city streets into Tokyo while the mech destroys sections of the environment throughout the race.

After completing the event, players can reportedly find Chaser Zero north of the Ohtani Region near the main Horizon Festival circuit. The mech remains visible in the area and can be used for photo mode shots and photography challenges.
