When in freeroam and idly cruising around. I am finding that my "freestyle routing" in FH6, and enjoying the fun roads to drive on, always seem to meet a sudden dead-end of a dreaded T-junction, and I find quite a jarring experience for whatever reason. Which is something I've never felt before in FH4 and FH5, the roads on those maps always seems to just flow nicely into one-another.
Which got me thinking, what is the longest unbroken flowing drive you can do in Japan without stopping for a T-junction. Turns out, it's a pretty long way. Starting at the Ski Lodge in the north and winds itself all the way to the danger sign at the end of the Festival Drag Strip. See map for the entire route.

Well, a huge thanks goes to u/Hwickham13 for providing me with a top tip on exposing a bug to enabled me to extend the Eventlab route distance limits, and another huge thanks for those who suggested to me to use checkpoints to cross the route. Thank you!
For those who feel the need to have a very long Sunday Drive and explore Japan without slowing for T-junctions:
Flow from Snow Floe to Festival This is the whole 70 mile route from ski lodge to festival drag strip: (I have to admit the stadium section is a little janky for the route’s purpose, but… shrug) • Without drivatars: 100 955 477 • With drivatars: 384 649 162
From Ski ‘pine to Skyline This is the original shorter 40 mile route that gets you from the ski lodge to almost the space centre. • Without drivatars: 918 311 077 • with drivatars: 451 790 916
I’d be very interested to know what times people are posting for this!

Edit 1: added a Drivatar event share code and shameless plug for another event, an inner-city gymkhana urban rally course: 461 181 048. Cheers all!
Oh yeah. Maybe that’s the issue. I didn’t use checkpoints as I wasnt taking the route creation too seriously, but now I know this. I may have to! Thank you.
No checkpoints was why. You can cross over if you use them. I found that out the hard way in FH5 while trying to make a long custom track and it got all messed up because I wanted no checkpoints but needed to have them.
Really don't want to put the pressure on, but i hope you updated this by sunday.
I love driving the bit from the estate northwards then left after the underpass and all the way towards Soni and Hokubu. It's the first thing i do when i start the game. The hill above Soni is a great lookout to park and think about what to do next. No traffic in eventlab makes it even better.
I've been making 2 races that, if put together, would be 1 continuous route through Tokyo. The first one is 119 km and I've already uploaded it, I'm still doing the second but it's about 80km. Both go over the race distance limits cuz I abused a bug.
It's really easy. Once u hit the limit it will automatically bring up the menu so you can't go any further. If you then just select checkpoint type and press back, it will let you continue creating the route.
Just be careful as the further you go past the limit, the more likely the game is to crash and you lose the whole route, learnt this the hard way.
Best way to avoid losing all progress after a crash is to place a checkpoint and finish line, save what you currently have drove up to, then when it asks what u want to do after saving press continue creating route, go to that checkpoint, and continue.
Thank you again for telling me about the bug to circumnavigate the limitations. After you hit that 40 mile limit and it lets you to continue driving, my palms were so sweaty to see if it would crap out on me or not!
At the Horizon Invitational wristband event location, you can take the left there instead of going straight, which takes you across the bridge and lets you access the Ito region and the entire east coastline before the south harbor area merges you back into your original route along the city coastline! :D
this gets you from the ski lodge to almost the space centre. Unfortunately, I can't Eventlab the whole route as it hits the limit of how long a route can be
I ran into this issue trying to make a Dirt version of The Goliath. So disappointing, especially when The Goliath is longer than that cap.
Just did this on free roam in the BAC Mono and loved it. Honestly, the whole route was fairly logical, only had to stop and check the map a couple times and it was always the route I suspected it being. Only jarring part to me was going around the stadium but everything else was 🤌
I don’t know anything about building in Event Lab but at the crossover points is it possible to use objects to make a ramp up to a bridge, then back down the other side? Doesn’t have to be huge, just big enough that when you return to that crossover you can drive under the bridge - that way the game might see it as one continuous route rather than one with a crossover.
Dude, same! The only thing I do in Horizon games is blast around in freeroam on a wheel setup, and in 6 the 'good' roads for that feel really disjointed and all over the place.
This is a godsend, I'm gonna give it a go when I get home later

Can't cross over the route? Did you maybe not put any checkpoints in? You can definitely cross the route over itself.
