FH Skills and Combos list
Driving with flair in Forza Horizon earns you points for showing off your skills. Skills have four levels for each within increasing points: Pass, Great Pass, Awesome Pass, and Ultimate Pass, and combo skills earn an additional 1000 points. Skill points increase your Festival Popularity rank and accomplish Sponsor Challenges automatically. Increasing Popularity rank and completing Sponsor Challenges also unlocks Achievements. Continuously performing skills will increase a multiplier bonus. Colliding with solid objects like walls, trees, and cars will lose unbanked skill points.
Popularity Spike and awards
A Popularity Spike doubles the amount of Skill points you receive during Single-player gameplay. Popularity Spikes are time-limited but you can buy as many as you want. Cost: 1 token for 30 minutes, 2 for 60 minutes, 3 for 120 minutes. Popularity spikes can be purchased at the Marketplace in the game, or in the Sponsor Challenges menu under the Pause menu.
After you reach number 1 in popularity, Skill points continue to accumulate and the semi-circle around “1st” will begin to fill up again. When it fills up completely (2 million Skill points?) you will receive a 500,000 credit award, and for each time it fills up again.
