Our latest F1® Clash Update contains several new updates and a number of bug fixes. See below for further details:


New Features

  • Introducing Power-Ups!
    Power-ups grant a temporary boost to the player's income from various resources such as Coins, Reputation, Trophies, Flags and Crate opening time. These Power-ups can be obtained through various in-game elements such as the Daily Spinner, Pit Pass and more to come.

  • A new Overtaking & Defending UI
    An improved visualisation of the duelling mechanic between cars; giving Players visual feedback on their cars actions during races.

  • Circuit de Monaco returns to F1 Clash
    The legendary Monaco track returns to F1® Clash.

  • Updates to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya & Yas Marina Tracks
    Recent updates to these tracks to be in line with the 2023 F1® Season.

  • Club Preview from Invite
    A common request from the Community; Players will now be able to view the details of a Club directly from a Club Invite instead of having to manually search for the Club.

  • Grand Prix Event Tie Break rules now displayed in-game
    The rules determining Tie Breaks in weekly Events will now be more readily available to view in-game instead of simply located in the FAQ.
