I went back into Forza Horizon 6 after setting it down and noticed the side roads actually connect up better than the map made it seem. One stretch I spent the first twenty minutes just following a narrow pass through the hills, stopping once to watch a slow truck convoy pass without any prompt or timer running.
Nothing much changes if you keep going that way. The game lets you idle between festivals, but the actual events stay spaced out and the simulation never really fills the gaps with smaller tasks.
It ends up feeling thinner once you notice how little the open driving shifts on its own. The handling stays precise, yet the loop still asks you to pick an activity rather than letting anything develop while you're out there.
