Securing a 3-star rating at the Jodogahama Grove Speed Trap in Forza Horizon 6 is all about precision over raw speed. This camera is placed deep within Japan’s winding, tree-lined grove roads, which makes hypercars like the Koenigsegg Jesko prone to understeer into barriers. To consistently hit top speeds without crashing, you’ll need the right car setup, perfect driving line, and a few key techniques.

Proven Vehicle Setups

Off-Road Cheese Method (Highly Recommended)

Community drivers on the r/ForzaHorizon Reddit have had great success using the Toyota Tacoma Forza Edition. Key tweaks include:

  • Max horsepower

  • Off-road race tires

  • Minimal aerodynamic downforce

This build allows you to ride over grass and dirt, essentially “ignoring” the tarmac. You can carry momentum through tight turns, even hopping past tree obstacles.

Grip Build Method

If you prefer sticking to asphalt, the Mazda MX-5 Forza Edition is a solid choice. Its lightweight frame and excellent cornering make it perfect for the grove’s tight, undulating roads. Players in the Official Forza Forums recommend downloading the PR stunt setup using Tune Share Code: 769 106 398. This ensures your car remains planted through tricky corners.

The Perfect Driving Line

  • Start from the North: Build speed before the sharp north turn near the speed trap. A short run-up won’t give enough momentum.

  • Cut Corners Hard: Grove roads are deceptive—wider than they appear. Let your inside tires run into grass or dirt at the apex to straighten your trajectory before the speed camera.

  • Adjust Suspension: If you slide or understeer, upgrade tires and suspension to racing components. Slightly increase front-end downforce for road cars to prevent the nose from drifting wide.

General PR Stunt Tips

  • Use Rewind: Lost traction or hit a tree? Rewind and micro-adjust your entry angle. Precision beats brute force here.

  • Clear the Traffic: Random AI vehicles can ruin your line. Switching to Horizon Life (Online Freeroam) mode makes traffic cars non-collidable ghosts, letting you focus on clean runs.
