When you link mountain corners into one long drift in Forza Horizon 6, or slip past a rival on the final corner before the finish, you want to show a friend who loves cars right away. This guide explains one method: record Forza Horizon 6 with DOR, trim only the highlight of the drive, and send it to friends as a dor.gg link. The game lets you roam a huge open world set in Japan and drift naturally into races, Touge Battles, and Car Meets, so most of a recording is travel time and the scenes worth sending are scattered in between. That makes deciding how you will find each scene the most important step.
The essentials first
Launch Forza Horizon 6 on a Windows PC with DOR installed, and free roam, races, and time spent tuning cars in the garage all save as one video. After you quit, open the recording in the library, use the starting countdown and results screen for races or your noted times for free-roam moments, trim a short stretch, and send the dor.gg link. For framing tips when exporting a vertical cut for friends on phones, see how to make a vertical game video.
How to send a Forza Horizon 6 driving clip
- 1Install DOR and launch Forza Horizon 6Install the free DOR app on your Windows PC, then launch Forza Horizon 6. It was added as a supported game in the October 2026 app update, so DOR detects it automatically, and recording does not split when a race ends or you return to free roam; it continues until you quit.
- 2Note the time for free-roam highlightsRaces have clear boundaries in the countdown and results screen, but a drift or jump that happens by chance in free roam has no marker at all. When one happens, note the real time right away. Recording starts when you launch the game, so the gap between that and your note is the spot in the recording.
- 3Start close races before the last cornerIf you keep only the finish line, an overtake does not show why it was impressive. Trim about 30 seconds from the moment you tuck in behind the rival heading into the final corner until just before the results screen, and the chase and pass read as one flow.
- 4Keep drifts from entry to exitA single drift runs from where the car starts sliding into the corner to where it straightens out again. If you linked several corners, include the exit from the last one and aim to fit it all in 10 to 20 seconds.
- 5Trim in the library and choose a ratioOpen the recording in the library, set the start and end points with the trim tool, and pick a ratio. Scenes like Touge Battles that need the rival car and road in view suit 16:9, while a drift or speed trap that shows just one car can go out at 9:16. When the trim finishes, a dor.gg link is created.
- 6Keep the sound for car-loving friendsEngine sound is a big part of Forza Horizon 6, so a clip with the game audio intact lands differently with a friend who loves cars. If your mic chatter drowns out the engine, cut around that part. Paste the link in chat and your friend can play it straight away, even in a phone browser.
How to spot Forza Horizon 6 roads and events in the recording, and the ratio that fits
| Road or event | How to spot it in the recording | Ratio that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Mountain Touge Battle | Start from the launch side by side with a rival on a narrow mountain road | 16:9 (so the corner entry and rival car share the frame) |
| Tokyo city race | Between the starting countdown and the results screen, weaving between buildings | 16:9 |
| Drift chain | The car sliding sideways through linked corners, near your noted time | 9:16 works too (focused on one car) |
| Speed trap run | The moment your speed appears on screen on a straight | 9:16 or 1:1 |
| Hill jump landing | From the climb just before liftoff until right after touchdown | 16:9 |
| Showing off your car at a Car Meet | Your car parked among other players' cars | 1:1 |
Check before you send
- More than 20GB of free disk space remains (drop below that and recording stops automatically)
- The scene you found near your noted time is the drift you meant
- The race clip starts at the entry to the final corner
- The car does not slide out of frame in a vertical export
- You are fine with other players' names being visible
- Your mic voice does not drown out the engine
What DOR does in Forza Horizon 6
DOR is a free Windows desktop app, and when Forza Horizon 6 starts it recognizes the game and records it with full-session recording. Everything from launch to quit is one mp4, and this game has no automatic clips that split races or pick out drifts, so you trim scenes from the recording yourself. DOR records your own PC's screen, so the view from a friend's car is not included; game sound and your mic are recorded together, and NVIDIA graphics cards use NVENC hardware encoding by default. As the app settings note, recording stops on its own when free space falls below 20GB, and on days you would rather not record, you can turn off just this game in the full-session recording group in settings, with a confirmation prompt when you do. To join several races or add text and background music, edit without installing anything in the DOR browser clip editor, then download an mp4 or share a link.
