If you have already been dipping into the Horizon Decades playlist, this one is easy enough to start, but it still asks for a bit of planning. The FH6 Credits you earn from it are nice, sure, but the real appeal is that it puts one of the most famous cars on the planet front and centre. The DeLorean DMC-12 is the sort of car people smile at before they even get in, and this challenge is built around that feeling.

What the challenge is asking from you

Blast from the Past is a seasonal Festival objective built around the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12. Nothing fancy. You are not chasing a weird tune, and you do not need a long grind. Just four tasks, all tied to the same car, and a 25,000 credit payout once you have done the lot. It also feeds season progress, so it is worth knocking out even if you are only chasing a few extra points for the week.

Get the DeLorean sorted first

The first thing to do is make sure the car is actually in your garage. If you already own the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12, jump in and go for a short drive. That is usually enough to trigger the opening task. If you do not own it yet, head to the Autoshow and buy one for 72,000 credits. It is not cheap, and that does make some players hesitate, but if you are planning to work through more playlist events later, keeping it around can save you time. Once you have got it, just take it anywhere on the map and the challenge starts to move.

Holding speed without making it harder than it needs to be

The speed task sounds more awkward than it is. You need to keep the DeLorean above 142 km/h for 10 seconds. That is all. Find a proper straight road, get up to speed, then stay calm and leave the throttle alone. The car can do it without upgrades, so there is no need to spend ages tuning unless you just want to. A motorway run, a long coast road, or one of those wide open stretches between towns works well. The main thing is not to rush it and then brake too early because a bend or a bit of traffic caught you out. You will get it done faster by choosing the right road than by trying to force it in a bad spot.

Taking the photo and winning the race

The photo step is probably the easiest one. Open Photo Mode, frame the DeLorean, and take the shot. That is it. No special angle, no dramatic backdrop, no filter drama. A clean snap is enough. After that, the last task sends you into a Road Race, and this is where a lot of players overthink it. Pick any Road Race event from the map, drive to the start, and enter with the DeLorean. You need to win, but you do not need to chase a perfect run. Shorter races are usually the safer choice because the AI has less time to recover if you get a decent launch and keep things tidy through the corners. If the race looks messy or too long, just back out and find another one. There is no prize for making it painful.

Final Thoughts

The DeLorean is not the fastest thing you will ever drive in Horizon, and nobody is pretending it is. Still, it has a proper charm to it, and that matters more than raw pace for a challenge like this. If you are the kind of player who likes keeping a few useful cars around for playlist jobs, this one makes sense to hold onto. It can show up again in other events, and having it ready means less running around later. If you are short on credits and want to skip the hassle of grinding for the car, some players will just buy FH6 Credits and move on with the week, which is fair enough when the playlist starts stacking up.
