If you want to stack millions of Credits in Forza Horizon 6 without constantly grinding races yourself, AFK farming is easily one of the best methods in the game. Once your setup is working properly, the game can literally drive for you while you’re away from your PC or Xbox.



This method works because the game’s driving assists can fully handle steering and braking on certain custom tracks. All you need to do is keep the throttle held down and let the AI do the rest.



Here’s how experienced players are farming huge amounts of CR, XP, and Skill Points overnight.



Why AFK Farming Works So Well



The key is combining three things together:



Auto-Steering

Assisted Braking

Long custom EventLab races



When those systems work together, your car can complete races almost entirely on its own. Since long races give massive payouts, leaving the game running for several hours can generate:



Millions of Credits (CR)

Huge XP gains

Tons of Skill Points

Wheelspins

Car Mastery rewards



The real profit comes later when you convert Skill Points into Wheelspins and duplicate cars.



Required Difficulty Settings



Before starting, you need to configure your assists correctly. If even one setting is wrong, your car may crash into walls or miss checkpoints.



Go to:



Settings → Difficulty



Apply these exact settings:



Setting Value

Driving Assist Preset Custom

Braking Assisted

Steering Auto-Steering

Traction Control On

Stability Control On

Shifting Automatic

Driving Line Full



These settings allow the game’s AI to handle nearly everything for you.



Best Cars for AFK Farming



Technically, almost any fast car can work, but some are far more efficient than others.



Recommended Vehicle Types

Forza Edition Cars



These are the best overall because they include bonus multipliers for XP, Skills, or Credits.



Good choices include:



Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Forza Edition

Formula Drift cars

High-speed Hypercars

Stable S2-class highway builds

Stable S2 or X-Class Cars



Fast cars complete laps quicker, meaning more rewards per hour. However, stability matters more than raw speed.



A car that constantly crashes is worse than a slightly slower car that runs clean laps consistently.



Upgrade Your Car Mastery Tree



This part matters a lot.



Open your chosen vehicle’s Car Mastery menu and unlock:



Skill multiplier perks

Skill chain boosts

XP bonuses

Wheelspin rewards

Super Wheelspins



Over a long AFK session, those bonuses add up massively.



Players who ignore Car Mastery usually earn far less over time.



Step-by-Step AFK Farming Setup

Step 1: Open EventLab



Pause the game and go to:



Creative Hub → EventLab → Play Events



This is where the best AFK maps are usually shared.



Step 2: Search for AFK Blueprints



Search using terms like:



“CR Money Event”

“50 Laps AFK”

“Unlimited Money Farm”

“AFK Highway”

“Oval AFK Race”



The best maps usually have:



Long straight roads

Wide corners

Minimal traffic

Simple checkpoint layouts



Highway loops and oval tracks are usually the safest.



Step 3: Start the Event Solo



Always launch the race solo.



Online traffic or unpredictable AI behavior can sometimes ruin longer AFK sessions.



Step 4: Secure the Accelerator



This is the classic setup.



Use:



A rubber band

Hair tie

Velcro strap



Wrap it around your controller’s RT trigger so the accelerator stays fully pressed.



Your car should now continue driving without any input.



Step 5: Keep Your Controller Connected



This is extremely important.



If your controller disconnects, your run ends immediately.



To avoid this:



Plug your controller directly into your Xbox or PC using USB

Disable controller auto-sleep settings if possible

Keep your console power settings from shutting down automatically

Best Types of AFK Tracks



Not all AFK maps are equal.



The best ones usually include:



Long Highway Circuits



These are extremely stable because the roads are wide and smooth.



Perfect for:



Hypercars

S2 builds

High-speed farming

Oval Tracks



These are slower but very reliable.



Great for:



Overnight sessions

Lower-class cars

Maximum consistency

Skill Chain Tracks



Some custom maps are designed specifically to generate constant wreckage and drift score.



These can generate insane amounts of Skill Points while still farming CR.
