Tier 1
Official sources
Highest confidence
Release date, platforms, editions, store availability, Game Pass wording, official features, and official roster facts.
Examples: Forza, Xbox, Microsoft Store, Steam
Core rule
Official sources are used for official claims. Community and editorial sources can help discover useful topics, but they stay labeled until FH6Hub can cross-check them.
Source priority
Tier 2
Structured and maintained references
High, cross-check when possible
Car-list structure, make/model fields, class grouping, map references, and comparison against official records.
Examples: fh6cars.com, major maintained car-list and database-style pages
Tier 3
Editorial guides and specialist coverage
Useful but not official
Barn Find guides, Treasure Car notes, tuning explanations, route planning, platform context, and practical player workflows.
Examples: Windows Central, PC Gamer, GamesRadar, GAMES.GG, Traxion, VGC
Tier 4
Community discovery signals
Discovery only until verified
Emerging tune codes, META discussion, edge cases, bug reports, early marker discoveries, and topics that need stronger confirmation.
Examples: Forums, Reddit, creator sheets, wiki trackers, video evidence
Verification labels
officialConfirmed by an official Forza, Xbox, Microsoft Store, or Steam source.
cross-checkedMatched across multiple credible public sources or reconciled against an official record.
editorialBased on FH6Hub analysis or reputable guide coverage, but not a first-party claim.
community-reportedReported by players, creators, forums, or public sheets and not yet independently confirmed.
single-sourceVisible in one public source and useful for discovery, but not strong enough to treat as settled.
placeholderUsed for layout or planning only. It should not be read as a confirmed gameplay fact.
to-be-verifiedNeeds stronger evidence before FH6Hub treats it as reliable.
How each page uses sources
Cars
Official roster facts come first. FH6Hub can add finder tags, playstyle notes, and next-step links, but those guidance labels must stay separate from official car facts.
Map
Official map language is preferred for broad geography. Marker coordinates and dense POI layers remain source-labeled until they are checked against multiple references.
Barn Finds
Reward cars, regions, and unlock stages should be cross-checked. Exact coordinates should stay conservative until they can be verified cleanly.
Tuning Codes
Tune codes can fail, change, or be removed by creators. They are treated as community-sourced unless tested directly or supported by strong public evidence.
META Cars
Best-car rankings are editorial and source-weighted recommendations. They are not official Forza rankings and should change as patches, tunes, and stronger evidence appear.
Attribution and reuse policy
FH6Hub uses sources to verify facts, then writes original summaries and organizes them into FH6Hub's own page structure. Source links are included where they help readers understand confidence and context.
FH6Hub should not copy full articles, full guide sections, large tables, complete databases, source images, or copyrighted map screenshots from other websites. When a fact is uncertain, the page should say so instead of filling the gap with unsupported certainty.
