Formula One Mobile Racing

[Paul Jeffrey]

A new update to F1 Mobile Racing is heading your way soon - offering the first opportunity to drive the 2019 Formula One grid in any racing game.

Currently available on iOS and Android and featuring the 2018 racing season, update 5 for F1 Mobile Racing will see the inclusion of the teams, drivers and liveries from the current Grand Prix year, with the new content replacing the 2018 version within the game.

Codemasters have explained that any player who has already purchased a 2018 livery within the game will receive the corresponding 2019 livery free of charge once the update goes live - although they haven't fully committed to exactly when that update will be available, short of some time in early May.

Team liveries from the previous season will be removed, but for existing Mobile Racing players who have already purchased a livery, they will receive the corresponding 2019 team livery free of charge. For example, if you already own the 2018 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport livery, the 2019 Mercedes colours will be waiting for you in your Garage after installing the new update! 2018 driver helmets will remain in the game, and you’ll retain any helmets you’ve purchased, but only the new helmets will be purchasable from Update 5.​

3D models look really wrong, 2019 style front wing, totally wrong nose,
driver looks about 9 years old there sat way too low inside the cockpit looks really strange tbh,
not convinced by the visuals 1 bit.

I'm not terribly happy with the game. I play it for the arcade feel of it, not because it is in any way realistic. But, I suppose it is nice to have the new grid available now...especially with the season challenges they have for us.

Will they add support for Fanatec Podium series DD wheels, thats the real question everyone wants to know.

Well the models are just the generic base models (judging from the small print "2019 F1 Technical Regulations Cars", so I guess there will be an update on those.

Yes I missed that part my bad,
non the less the drivers are still like 9 year olds, the regulations are quite clear at this point for safety of the drivers they need to be seated in a certain position,
youll tend to see that the top of the drivers surround the base structure where the halos are mounted,
the drivers visors are always level with the top of the surround, like I say for safety.

I do not see that here so still stand by my original post.

You can check 1000 pics youll see the same triangle like I have shown.

Fully agree on that. Drivers look tiny and completely out of position.

This game is crap.
In whole meaning, same level as Forza Street.

Took a few days off to let this new update settle in. Get back in to realize my entire car has been disassembled and have to put all my updates back on it. This ticked me off last update this happened. I just deleted the game from my phone because I'm never getting the same car back. Again.

Some might joke that 10-15 laps of say, Silverstone, is not an endurance race, but when you're playing on your mobile phone, 15 minutes becomes an endurance.

 

[Cote Dazur]

no vr, no buy.

 

[v3n.rd]

lol does it have abuse reporting already? if not WHY ARE YE NOT FEKKIN DOIN IT?

 

[Cheesenium]

Must be slow news day. Even nonsense like this RD wants to cover. Shall RD cover games like “Real” Racing 3, CSR or Asphalt soon?

More importantly, how much bloated RD wants to make the news section? I nearly missed the announcement of iracing adding the new Australian supercars because of the amount of news the site started to add. Plus, is a news of a F1 mobile game or cash grab relevant to the audience here?

 

[Pitr]

What fov to set on iphone 7s ? anybode have some calculator for this or something....can`t find no mobile racing forums topics on this meter

Codemasters have confirmed Update 9 for the popular F1 Mobile Racing game is arriving imminently...

... and contains access to the increasingly popular F1 Esports for the very first time! Yes, widening participation from the current Xbox One, PS4 and PC platforms to debut on mobile gaming for the first time, the upcoming update 9 for F1 Mobile Racing begins this December 13th, and will offer players the opportunity to compete for qualification in the main Esport series.

'Starting on December 13, The Mobile Qualifier works in a similar way to your standard F1® Mobile Racing GP Event: compete in three separate events, taking place on the circuits of Australia (Melbourne), Singapore (Marina Bay) and Belgium (Spa-Francorchamps). From these three events, you’ll earn a cumulative score, which is then used for your global leaderboard placement. You’ll have the chance to retry or re-enter the event to shave off those tenths of a second and give you another shot at the top spot.

We’re giving every player an equal chance at taking the top spot in the Mobile Qualifier, by putting the same cap on every car’s PI (Performance Indicator) level – the number that dictates the overall performance of your car. That means in this GP Event, car performance does not matter; just like the F1 Esports series, it’s all down to your skill, nerve and consistency as a driver'.

As well as that big piece of news, the new update will also include a few other goodies for gamers who use the free to play mobile app, details of which can be found below;

• Christmas Pass: Grab yourself an early Holiday season present with our Christmas Pass! Available until January 5th, unwrap the Christmas Pass to earn in-game currency, new R&D parts, and exclusive winter-themed visual items. Discover your new items via our in-game advent calendar, with new rewards ready to open every day through the festive period!
• Shop: Check out the brand new Shop, where we’re stocking some brand new offers, new parts to grab every day, and starter packs now available every time you change Leagues in Duel.
• Season Championship Finale: The 2019 F1 season may be over, but our season-long championship is rolling on! Until January 31st, you have the chance to retry previous events in Season Championship to improve your overall score and global leaderboard ranking, leading to bigger and better prizes. Good luck!
• Daily parts: Update 9 brings two new daily parts for players, so as you check in each day to open your advent calendar from the Christmas Pass, make sure to open your daily pack, too. Drop rates have been removed from the daily pack, so you can always see what you’re acquiring. Also, keep checking in for our weekly, seasonal and flash offers!

No official release date has been confirmed as yet, however I'm sure further details will revealed in the near future.
