• Added a range of new Casual Wear items to the Podium Pass Store

On December 10, a wide variety of Casual Wear items from real-world brands will be added to the store, giving you more options to kit out your Driver Avatar. These include those pieces from Puma’s official F1® fashion collection, as well as the likes of Alpinestars, Anti Social Social Club, Kappa, Patta, Period Correct Squadra Corse, and Stance.

• All Title Sponsor liveries owned by the player can now be used in My Team Career

Previously, Title Sponsor liveries that were unlocked in the game could only be applied to the F1 World car in certain modes, or in My Team when you are signed with the same Title Sponsor. However, we’ve now made it so that these liveries can be freely selected in My Team, opening up even more customisation options in that mode. Any adjustments you’ve made to your livery in My Team using the Decal Editor will still apply, so you may want to reposition some of the pre-existing Decals so that they don’t overlap with those baked-in to the Title Sponsor liveries.

• Fixed a rare issue at Bahrain where players could collide with an invisible bump at the exit of Turn 4

Peripherals (Wheels/Controllers)

• Added support for the VRS R295, Pro and Lite Formula Steering Wheels
  • Ensure Input Mapping is set to Modern in the DirectForce Pro Config Tool for the VRS Pro and Lite Formula Steering Wheels
• Added Support for VRS Direct Force Pro Wheel Bases and Pro Pedals

Miscellaneous

• Fixed an issue where enabling AMD FSR and relaunching the title could set Anti-Aliasing setting back to ‘TAA Only’ (PC only)
• Fixed an issue with the appearance of rain in exported Highlights videos (PC only)
• Improvements made to the shadows on F2™ 2025 cars
• Fixed an issue where Kush Maini could sometimes be using an incorrect helmet
