F1® Mobile Racing Update 31

Learn what’s coming in Update 31

F1 2021 Header

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

For Update 31, we increased our efforts focused on bug fixes to bring you the best possible experience with our game. Read the notes section to find out more.

We have made some changes to the upcoming events based on the community feedback we received during the 5th Anniversary event that we hope you all love. These changes are more focused on creating a more competitive environment for all players. Upcoming themed events will see all players have a loaned car with a fixed PI, so everyone is on an equal footing, and your performance on the track is what makes the difference. 

With the holiday season in full swing, we have a special surprise featuring seasonal-appropriate weather to match. Various circuits are now covered in picturesque snow, which completely changes the atmosphere and gives a refreshing look.

More competitive events

Some changes have been made to upcoming events. Based on community feedback, all future themed events will feature a loaded car with a fixed PI rating. This means all players who participate in the event will have an equal opportunity to score, and your performance on the track makes the difference.

 

Holiday Surprise

The holiday season has come to F1® Mobile Racing, bringing the snowy weather! All throughout the winter period, a selection of circuits have now been covered in picturesque snow, making for a treacherous yet refreshing racing environment.

Visit the events section, and try to tame the new conditions in all the circuits featuring snow conditions.

 

Upcoming Events Preview

As we wrap up the year and look ahead into the next, more themed events will be available. Starting in February with the Lunar New Year, the year of the dragon, we intend to celebrate it the only way we know how with an excellent event for you all to enjoy at the Shanghai International Circuit.
