If you have already been working through the new Festival Playlist, this week's Blast from the Past event is one of those challenges that looks simple on paper but still needs a little bit of smart driving. The star of the show is the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12, and if you do not already have one in the garage, spending a bit of time on it can be worth it, especially if you are also keeping an eye on your FH6 Credits and how quickly they disappear when a seasonal task demands a specific car.

What You Need To Know

The whole challenge is built around one car, so there is no need to overthink it. Once you own the DeLorean, the game will ask you to use it in a few different ways: just drive it, hold a decent speed for a short spell, take a photo, and win a Road Race. None of that is hard, but the trick is not to rush the steps. A lot of players burn time by swapping cars or hunting for the "perfect" route when the simpler option usually gets the job done faster.

Step 1

Start by getting the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12 and taking it out for a drive. If it is already in your collection, jump in and move a little down the road. That should register straight away. If you need to buy it, head to the Autoshow and pick it up there. It is not the cheapest purchase, so it is the sort of thing you want to buy with a purpose. Once it is yours, don't waste time testing it in traffic. Just get moving and let the challenge count the car properly.

Step 2

The speed task is easier than it sounds. Find a long, open road and build up to 142 km/h or more. Then hold that pace for ten seconds. That is the part people slip up on. They get there, then lift off too early, or a bend forces them to back out. A freeway stretch or a flat run outside the busier parts of the map usually works best. You do not need a special tune, either. The DeLorean can handle this stock, so keep it simple and focus on staying steady. Once you've got the speed, keep your hands calm and let the timer finish.

Step 3

For the photo, open Photo Mode and frame the DeLorean however you like. There is no need to chase a dramatic angle or a fancy backdrop unless you want to. Honestly, a quick roadside shot is enough. Players often overcomplicate this one because they expect some hidden condition, but there is none. Snap the picture, wait for the game to confirm it, and move on. It is one of those tasks that sounds like busywork, yet it only takes a few seconds if you are already parked in the right spot.

Final Thoughts

The last job is the only one that can take a bit of time, since you need to win a Road Race in the DeLorean. Pick a race that suits the car, not one that drags you into a long fight with tougher AI than you need. Shorter Road Race events are usually the better call. If you are comfortable with the handling, you can keep the car mostly stock and still get the win. That said, a small tune can make the whole thing feel less clunky if you are used to driving something sharper. Either way, once the flag drops and you finish first, the challenge is done and the reward lands. The DeLorean is not the kind of car you buy for raw pace, but it has enough charm to stay useful, and it is the sort of ride that makes sense to keep around if you like collecting unusual machines from the game's era-themed events. If you want to round out your garage with more options like this, it is worth checking out the wider selection of FH6 Cars before the next Playlist task rolls in.
