Forza Horizon 6 has a hidden feature called Data Out. It streams real-time racing data while you play. This is useful if you want to analyze your performance, track your laps, or build custom tools for the game.

What Is Data Out

Data Out is the telemetry system in Forza Horizon 6. While you race, the game sends live data about your car and performance. This includes speed, tire temperatures, lap times, and more. You can connect this data to apps or dashboards that display it while you play.

How to Enable Data Out

  1. Open Settings in Forza Horizon 6
  2. Go to HUD and Gameplay
  3. Turn Data Out to ON
  4. Set the Data Out IP Address to 127.0.0.1 (your computer) or your PC’s network IP
  5. Data streams to port 20066 via UDP

Once you start racing, the data flows automatically. No extra setup needed.

What Data You Get

Data Out streams the following information:

  • Speed (km/h or mph)
  • GPS coordinates and map position
  • Tire temperatures for each wheel
  • Brake percentage and throttle percentage
  • Steering angle
  • Current lap time
  • Sector times
  • Best lap time
  • Performance Index (PI) of your car
  • Your rank and position on leaderboard
  • Time and assists

You get all this data about 60 times per second. Every frame of your race is captured.

What You Can Do With It

Players and developers use Data Out for:

  • Displaying live stats on a second screen while racing
  • Tracking your performance across multiple races
  • Analyzing braking patterns and tire wear
  • Comparing laps to find where you can improve
  • Building custom dashboards or mobile apps
  • Creating training tools for yourself

There are already apps on Google Play that connect to Forza telemetry and show your stats live.

Important Things to Know

Data Out only works while the game is running. You cannot access past race data or historical stats. The feature is for real-time data only.

Data Out streams your own telemetry. You cannot see other players’ stats or global leaderboards through this system.

This is not a public web API. It uses UDP packets, so you need an app that can receive and parse UDP data. Simple HTTP requests do not work here.
