Forza Horizon 6 Weekly Challenge Has Players Recreating Back to the Future Train Scene
The challenge has gone viral on social media because players are voluntarily recreating a famous movie moment that the game's objective only loosely references, showing how player creativity can turn a simple speed test into a cinematic set piece.

The 'Good Old Days' weekly challenge in Forza Horizon 6 requires players to maintain 142 km/h for 10 seconds in the DeLorean DMC-12. The condition resembles the Back to the Future film series, where the DeLorean time machine needs to reach 88 mph. Players are attempting to recreate the iconic scene from the third movie where the car is pushed by a train on the tracks, though the game does not require it.
The 'Good Old Days' weekly challenge in Forza Horizon 6 asks players to hold 142 km/h for 10 seconds in the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12. That speed is a direct callback to the 88 mph threshold from Back to the Future, and players on X are taking the reference further by trying to get the car pushed by a train, just as in the third film. One player who tested it found that trains run on various routes and can be waited for on a straight track, though the result is not a smooth push-the car takes rear damage and gets launched forward instead.
