NEXT RESET Thursday 14:30 UTC

Forza Horizon 6 explorer stamps, and how far you are from the next one.

Seven rungs, 1,250 to 20,000 Discover Japan Points, each one releasing a few more barn finds. Put your total in and the ladder answers the question the tables elsewhere leave you to work out: how much further.

3,000points to Pink, the Pathfinder stamp

4 of the eight confirmed barn finds are still behind a higher stamp.

Next, if the ladder says you are already past a rung: the region pages say what else is recorded in the place you are driving to.

The short version

  • Seven stamps: Yellow 1,250, Green 2,500, Blue 5,000, Pink 8,000, Orange 12,000, Purple 16,000, Gold 20,000.
  • Points come from the Discover Japan track. Of the four activities anyone put a number on, a race win pays the most and a mascot the least.
  • Stamps gate barn finds. Pink releases the largest batch; the last cars need Gold.
  • Eight barn finds are confirmed by two sources. Seven more rest on one, and are kept apart below.

How Forza Horizon 6 explorer stamps are earned

Stamps sit on the Discover Japan track, which is a separate thing from the Festival Playlist the weekly chest belongs to. You fill it by driving: PowerPyx names touge and street races, mascots and story events. The figures below are the ones a guide actually puts a number on. Other activities may well feed the same track, but we found no figures for them, so those rows are absent rather than estimated.

Points per activity, as stated by GuruGamer.
ActivityPoints
Touge or Street Race, wonaround 350
Touge or Street Race, finished250
Horizon Story event at three starsaround 300
Mascot smashedtypically 25

Both of those figures are given as approximations, so the ratio is one too: on these estimates a race win is worth roughly fourteen mascots. GuruGamer describes a race as taking a few minutes, and gives no comparable timing for anything else, so that is as far as the sourced advice goes. How any of this relates to the Thursday reset that governs the rest of this site, we cannot say: no source we read ties the Discover Japan track to the weekly rotation in either direction.

The eight barn finds two sources agree on

Game8 and a Steam community guide both carry these rows, and on these eight rows they agree on both the region and the gating stamp, down to the car. That is the standard the rest of this site holds its location data to, so these are the rows the ladder above counts when it tells you what is still locked.

Seven more cars, one source only

These cars are not in doubt: PowerPyx names all fifteen. What rests on the Steam guide alone is where each one sits and which stamp holds it back, and no second source we found repeats those assignments. So the cars are listed and the assignments are marked as unmatched. They are here because leaving them out would be its own kind of dishonesty. They are apart because presenting them as settled would be worse.

Where the sources disagree, and what none of them says

How many barn finds there are

PowerPyx and the Steam guide both count 15.

BossDown writes "14-plus", without settling on a number.

How the Yellow stamp is reached

GuruGamer lists Yellow at 1,250 points like every other tier.

The same page also says Yellow arrives automatically once the Horizon Invitational is finished, which would make the threshold moot for most players.

How long a barn find takes to restore

PowerPyx says only that it "takes a while" and that you can finish it instantly for a fee. The Steam guide says the cars repair passively. Neither gives a duration, so neither do we.

What the instant-repair fee is

Described as "a fee" with no amount attached anywhere we could find.

How we check a location sets out the rule these boxes follow: a gap gets printed, never filled.

Questions

How many points is each explorer stamp in Forza Horizon 6?
Seven rungs: Yellow at 1,250, Green at 2,500, Blue at 5,000, Pink at 8,000, Orange at 12,000, Purple at 16,000 and Gold at 20,000 Discover Japan Points. Two separate guides give that ladder and their numbers match at every rung.
Which activity awards the most explorer stamp points?
Of the four activities anyone attaches a number to, a won touge or street race pays the most: around 350 points, with 250 for finishing without winning. A three-star Horizon Story event is roughly 300, and a smashed mascot is typically 25. Those are point awards, not rates. Only the race has a stated duration, a few minutes, so we cannot rank the four by points per minute without inventing the missing timings.
Which barn finds does each stamp unlock?
The ladder above lists them rung by rung. Eight cars have two sources agreeing on both the region and the gating stamp, and those are the ones we treat as settled. Seven more have their region and stamp from one guide only, so they are listed apart rather than mixed in.
Do you need a stamp to do the weekly Treasure Hunt?
No source we have connects the two. The weekly chest is a Festival Playlist entry and the stamps are the Discover Japan track, and the nine Treasure Cars are documented as available from the start rather than gated behind a stamp. We have not found anyone stating a requirement in either direction, so we do not assert one.
How long does a barn find take to restore?
Not stated anywhere we could find. PowerPyx says only that it takes a while and that you can finish it instantly for a fee, and the Steam guide says the cars repair passively. Neither gives a duration and neither gives the fee, so this page gives neither.
Is the Yellow stamp automatic?
The sources say both things at once. Yellow is listed at 1,250 points like the rest of the ladder, and the same guide says it arrives once the Horizon Invitational is done. Those can both be true if the Invitational pays out enough on its own, but nobody states that, so we leave the contradiction visible rather than picking the tidier half.
