How to Get the Showoff Skill in Forza Horizon 6
To get the Showoff Skill in FH6, drift while overtaking another racer. The skill triggers when a Pass Skill happens while your car is sliding, so the easiest place to do it is inside a race with AI opponents.
Traffic near misses, jumps, and wreckage do not matter for this skill. Focus on getting close behind another racer, beginning a controlled slide, and completing the pass before the drift ends.
Key Takeaways
- Showoff is earned by passing another racer while drifting.
- Use a race, not empty free roam, because you need an opponent to pass.
- Start the drift before the overtake and keep sliding until the pass registers.
- Tight race corners are the easiest places to set it up.

- Pick a drift-friendly car Choose a controllable RWD car or soft AWD drift tune that still holds a racing line.

What Is the Showoff Skill in FH6?
The Showoff Skill, also written as Show Off, is a combo skill that rewards style during an overtake. You are not just drifting and not just passing; both actions need to happen together.
Best Locations and Setup
Use races with close AI packs and corners that let you slide past another car without hitting it. Tokyo City street races are strong because urban roads keep opponents close, while dockside or industrial routes usually give wider turns.
Lower power can actually help because you will not blast past the AI before the drift starts. Lower Drivatar difficulty if you need easier placement.
Tips for Earning It Fast
Start the drift first, then pass. Stay close to the opponent, use corners rather than straights, avoid contact, and try dirt or mixed-surface races if road racing feels too grippy.
