If you have been chasing Festival rewards lately, the new Horizon Decades objective is one of those tasks that looks simple at first, then quietly eats a bit of your time if you rush it. A few players will already have the right car in the garage, which makes the opening step easier, but if you need to pick one up, it is worth keeping an eye on your credits so you do not get caught short when the challenge is active with FH6 Credits in mind.

What the challenge asks for

Blast from the Past is built around the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12, and that is really the whole point of the event. You are not dealing with a long checklist or a weird set of hidden conditions. It is four direct tasks, all tied to the same car, and that makes the whole thing pretty easy to read once you load in. The reward is solid too: 25,000 credits plus Festival Points that move your season progress along. If you like filling out the playlist without faffing about, this is the kind of challenge that is best handled in one sitting. The key is not to overthink it. The DeLorean is part nostalgia, part practical tool here, and the game wants you to use it in a few different ways rather than just park it and move on.

Getting the DeLorean ready

The first task is the easiest one, but it still catches people off guard. You need to own and drive the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12. If it is already yours, just hop in and go for a short drive. That is usually enough to tick the box. If you do not own it yet, buy it from the Autoshow for 72,000 credits and take it out straight away. No special route is needed, and there is no reason to wait for a race or event marker. Once you have the car, the second task is also fairly relaxed: hold 142 km/h or more for 10 seconds. Long highways, open country roads, and flatter stretches are your best bet. You do not need a tuned build for this, although some players like to add a little extra acceleration just to make the run smoother. In practice, the stock car can do it fine if you pick a road that does not keep throwing corners at you.

Photo and race steps

The next two tasks are where the challenge becomes more about timing than skill. For the photo requirement, open Photo Mode, frame the DeLorean, and take the shot. That is it. You can do it in a car park, by a roadside, or out in the open, and the game does not care much about the backdrop. People often waste time trying to make the image perfect when the objective only wants a clean photo of the car. After that, you need to win a Road Race in the same DeLorean. Pick a route that suits the car, not one that looks flashy on the map. Shorter road races are usually the safer choice because they reduce the chance of one bad corner ruining the run. If the AI is giving you trouble, the main thing is to keep your driving tidy. The DeLorean is not built to bully the field, so smooth braking and clean exits matter more than trying to force speed through every bend.

Final Thoughts

Once you have finished the challenge, the DeLorean still feels like one of those cars that is more fun than its stats suggest. It is not the type of machine you buy just to chase leaderboard times, but that is not really the point here. It has enough charm to stay useful for photo tasks, seasonal objectives, and the occasional relaxed cruise when you want something different in the garage. If you are working through the wider playlist this week, it also helps to keep an eye on other reward paths, because stacking a few quick wins together can save you from repeating the same grind later. Some players even choose to buy FH6 Super Wheelspins when they want to speed up their garage progress and keep moving without spending the whole evening chasing one reward after another.
