F1® Mobile Racing Update 30 Notes

Today a new update is available for F1® Mobile Racing, F1® Mobile Racing, the official free-to-play* mobile game of the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship™ on iOS and Android devices.

Update 30 includes various fixes and improvements based on feedback from our community, along with various quality of life features, and a brand-new circuit added to the roster — Las Vegas!

Welcome to Las Vegas

Making a return to the FIA Formula One World Championship™ for the 2023 season, Las Vegas is once again bursting with the spirit of F1® cars racing through its streets. The all-new circuit is built on the Las Vegas Strip, where drivers face 6.12km in 14-turns, racing past some of the city's most iconic locations.

To celebrate the addition of the circuit to the game, you have the chance to drive in the new circuit, along with Qatar, in a new time-limited event with plenty of unique rewards — including themed liveries.

Quality of Life Features

Thanks to the feedback from our community, we made some tweaks to several aspects of the game, increasing accessibility and providing a more balanced experience for all.

Participation rewards: players now receive a reward just for participating in an event. As long as a valid entry is registered on the leaderboards, players should expect some kind of reward at the end of the event, even if they still need to achieve a higher score for the other rewards.

The first round of events is free to enter: when an active event includes more than one Grand Prix™, the first round of the event is free to enter for all players (provided that you are in the required League level). To continue, you must unlock the remaining rounds as usual by paying the entry fee.

Fast-track times adjusted: The time for the fast-track has been adjusted to allow for even faster research times that allow players to fast-track up to three times a day. The fast-track time now removes 30 minutes or more for each box type. Additionally, a new type of box has been introduced. The Paddock box has a research time of 1 hour, and the higher the player’s League level, the higher the chances of getting better parts.

Daily Parts

Starting with Update 30, the store will now offer a variety of performance and staff type parts every day at a discount. Raging from Common to Legendary, this could be your chance to snatch yourself that much-needed part to take your setup to the next level!

These daily selections will include up to four performance parts and two staff parts for you to buy. Should you find that the selection on offer does not suit your needs, you can shuffle the selection for each by watching an advert. This, however, is limited to five times maximum, and you must wait until the next day for a different selection to be available.

5th Anniversary

It’s been five whole years since F1® Mobile Racing first released, and to celebrate the occasion, we’re hosting an array of special events with unique rewards and an in-game sale for all players to enjoy!

Starting with a special event free to join for everyone, the 5th Anniversary event includes an array of unique rewards such as profile banners and avatars to decorate your profile, along with a special livery for your Technical Regulations car that you can keep.

Along with the special event, three Showdown events are also available to test your skills against the top drivers. Prove your might, and you will be rewarded with a special 5th Anniversary helmet!

Finally, throughout the celebrations, a special sale is active on the in-game shop with lots of Legendary parts for you to add to your setup.
