This Polygon guide explains how to earn the Threading the Needle skill in Forza Horizon 6, a manoeuvre that rewards players for weaving through traffic during street racing. The skill matters primarily because it appears in various challenges, including the Horizon Decades Festival Playlist and the "Mini in the Middle" daily challenge, yet it does not crop up often through ordinary play, leaving some players unsure how to trigger it.

To perform the skill, players must drive cleanly between two AI traffic cars, squeezing through the gap without touching either, which can be done with or against the flow of traffic. The article recommends attempting it on the highway that loops around the map, where multiple lanes make suitable gaps easier to find than on the game's quieter country roads. For the "Mini in the Middle" challenge, any of the three Minis in the Autoshow will do: the 2012 John Cooper Works GP at 30,000 credits, the 1965 Cooper S at 39,000, or the 2013 X-Raid All4 Racing Countryman at 220,000, with the compact Cooper S said to be the easiest choice.
