This week's Italian Exotics Playlist is built around two cars that feel nothing alike, which is exactly why it's worth playing through. The 1982 Lancia 037 Stradale brings old-school rally character: light weight, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis that asks you to pay attention. The 2020 Ferrari Roma goes the other way, with smooth road manners and enough pace for fast tarmac events. If you're short on FH6 Credits, the Playlist is a sensible place to spend your time. You're earning cars, race rewards, wheelspins, and progression at once rather than putting everything into one repeated event. It also gives you a reason to pull forgotten cars from the garage and try something different.

Start With the Easy Points

Don't jump straight into the longest championship just because it's sitting on the map. A lot of players do that, then realise they could've collected a decent chunk of points in far less time. Begin with the photo task, nearby PR stunts, and any treasure activity with a clear clue. These jobs are usually quick, and they're useful for checking what your current tunes can handle. Daily tasks are worth picking up as you play too. They often ask for something simple, like winning an event in a certain car type or driving a set distance. Let them happen naturally. Once those smaller objectives are out of the way, you'll know exactly how many points you still need before committing to the bigger races. It feels less like a chore that way, and you won't end up doing multiplayer events you didn't actually need.

Pick Cars for the Surface, Not the Badge

The Lancia and Ferrari may both wear Italian badges, but they shouldn't be treated as interchangeable choices. The 037 Stradale is at its best when the route has loose ground, narrow bends, and enough room to let the rear move around a little. It can feel lively, especially if you mash the throttle out of slow corners. Ease into the power and it starts making more sense. The Roma is the easier pick for road circuits, sprint races, and speed zones where clean exits matter. Its strength is consistency. You can carry speed without constantly fighting the car. For the rest of the Playlist, keep a few proven options ready: one road racer, one dirt machine, one cross-country vehicle, and perhaps a capable all-rounder. That small bit of preparation saves a surprising amount of time when an event has an awkward class or tyre requirement.

Leave the Longer Events Until You Need Them

Seasonal championships and The Trial can offer strong point returns, but they aren't always the best first move. Championships take longer because each one involves several races, loading screens, and the occasional restart after a sloppy opening corner. Use them when you're close to a reward target or when the required class already matches a car you enjoy driving. The Trial is more unpredictable. A good team can finish it quickly; a rough lobby can turn it into several attempts. If you're playing with friends, it's often worth doing early because coordinated driving makes a huge difference. When you're on your own, clear the solo content first. You'll have a better picture of whether those extra points are even necessary. There's no prize for forcing yourself through every activity if the two featured cars are already safely unlocked.

Make the Rewards Work After the Week Ends

Getting the cars is only part of the value. The 037 Stradale can fill a useful gap in a collection that leans too heavily toward modern machinery. Take it into classic rally races, work on a tune that gives it more confidence under braking, and learn where it likes to rotate. The Roma is easier to slot into regular road racing. It's a comfortable choice for longer routes and quick highway runs, especially when you want something fast that doesn't feel nervous. Keep an eye on your reward payouts as well. Race wins, seasonal bonuses, wheelspins, and accolade progress can add up over a full session. It's tempting to spend everything on upgrades right away, but holding some funds back gives you more options when the next season asks for a specific car or class.

Final Thoughts

This Playlist works best when you treat it like a weekly route rather than a grind. Clear the short tasks first, use the right car for each surface, then decide whether the larger events are worth your remaining time. The Lancia rewards a more involved driving style, while the Ferrari offers calm, fast road performance, so both have a real place in the garage. Building a wider selection of FH6 Cars makes future Playlist weeks far less restrictive, and it means you can spend more time racing instead of scrambling to meet entry rules. Grab the rewards while they're available, keep the useful event cars tuned, and next week's challenges should feel a lot more manageable.
