The cars of 2022 are coming to Rocket League! Just in time for the inaugural Miami Grand Prix on May 6-8, the Formula 1 Fan Pass can be yours for a cost of 1100 Credits in Rocket League. But hurry, this limited-time opportunity is only available in the Item Shop May 4-10!
With this, you’ll get access to a brand-new 2022-style F1 car model (which uses the Dominus hitbox), the 2022 F1 car engine sound, and the new 18-inch Pirelli tyres. The pack also includes five team liveries: Alfa Romeo, AlphaTauri, McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari. Fans of hazy beachfront vibes will also get a sweet taste of that Miami lifestyle, with the McLaren Miami special livery decal too. And even if you don’t go for the Formula 1 Fan Pass, the Formula 1 2022 Player Banner can be obtained for free in the Item Shop!
After the initial splurge of awesome F1-themed Rocket League content, you’ll get more drip-fed to you throughout the year. In the summer, decals for Alpine, Aston Martin, Haas, Mercedes and Williams will also become available to anyone who purchases the pass, giving you access to the entire grid for the enthralling 2022 season. And beyond that, a third drop will introduce different colour variants for the Pirelli wheels, allowing you to customise your tyre compound between soft (red), medium (yellow) and hard (white) for a truly authentic experience.
Sergio Perez helped Team F1 earn victory over NASCAR in Rocket League’s Speed Demon Showdown!
Checo faced off against NASCAR racer Aric Almirola in the first in-game crossover between the two series, with veteran Rocket League players Shock and Widow teaming up with the Red Bull Racing driver to help guide Perez through his debut in the game.
Meanwhile over on Team NASCAR, Almirola was partnered up with Arsenal and Tri House as the two teams battled it out on regular mode before hopping over to the new ‘Speed Demon’ match – where there’s unlimited boost and instant demolition when you touch an opponent.
REGULAR MODE – F1 WIN!
A best out of three series saw Team F1 lose the first game, but Checo quickly found his feet, after admitting this was his first time playing, and helped his team claim the W with some decisive moments in Game 2 and 3.
An audacious, and definitely not accidental, backheel assist from Checo set up his team mate Shock to put F1 into an unassailable lead in the second match.
Now on the front foot, Checo wasn’t afraid to dish out some friendly trash talk, “at least i had a shot, I see Aric had zero shots!”
In the deciding game Checo, now with the knowledge of how to jump, rose above the competition to tee up Shock to see out their second victory.
SPEED DEMON MODE – F1 WIN!
With only one game to decide the victor of this mode, Team F1 were straight off the line and sped into a two-goal lead
With unlimited boost and plenty of demolitions in the game, Checo targeted the rival pro player Arsenal to great effect.
“Arsenal, I really thought you were better than this!” Chuckled Checo.
The game ended in a 2-0 win for Team F1 as they took victory for the entire Speed Demon Showdown!
“I really have to practice!” Explained Checo after the match, “but I really enjoyed the game!”
The F1 Fan Pack is back in the Rocket League store and you can play the ‘Speed Demon’ mode for a limited time.
