[p]Find out more about what’s coming in Part 2 of Survival Challenge by checking out our dedicated blog, found here. [/p][p][/p]
  • [p]Added a range of new Casual Wear items to the Podium Pass Store[/p]
[p]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.[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]All Title Sponsor liveries owned by the player can now be used in My Team Career[/p]
[p]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. [/p][p][/p]
