Team Fordzilla P1 makes its gaming debut in GRID Legends

Together with Ford, the TFZ-P1 comes to GRID Legends to drive for the first time

It started as a virtual creation, designed in collaboration between gamers and Ford’s designers. Three months later it was unveiled as a full-scale, real-life model before evolving into a unique gaming simulator. Now, the gaming community that helped to create the Team Fordzilla P1 racer (TFZ-P1), can finally drive it for themselves in the GRID Legends.

The journey of the TFZ-P1 race car started in March, 2020 when gamers were asked to vote on the package and features of the car on Twitter, including seating configuration, engine position and cockpit definition. Nearly a quarter of a million fan votes were submitted throughout the polling process.

Ford designers then submitted designs based on those features, with an exterior designed by Arturo Ariño and an interior that was the vision of Robert Engelmann chosen as the winners. Just three months after revealing the final design, a full-scale model of the vehicle was unveiled at gamescom 2020.

Since then, it has evolved to become a racing simulator and then a live-streaming platform, being treated to a number of different exterior finishes along the way, including an experimental reflective orange paint.

“We’ve now come full circle; what started as a promise has now been realized by giving the TFZ-P1 race car back into the hands of gamers. On top of that, we’re also creating the ultimate experience of driving the TFZ-P1 race car in GRID Legends while sitting in the actual race car itself. You really have to experience the drive to see how cool this actually is. With Season 1 of the TFZ-P1 project we’ve only started to scratch the surface of what’s possible and we’ll continue to further blur the boundaries between digital and real worlds in the future.”

- Boris Ferko, Design Manager, Ford of Europe

 

The TFZ-P1 is now available as a free download in-game for all players, found in the Trackday Hypercars class.
