Show off your best look on track right before you beat your rivals to the chequered flag with F1® 2021’s Podium Pass. Earn XP as you play, and progress through 30 free tiers to earn cool customisation items to jazz up your avatar, team and car. Unlock liveries, helmets, gloves, and, brand-new to F1® 2021, victory radio calls. If you want to level up your look even further, you can purchase the VIP tier with PitCoin, our in-game premium currency, which will award extra items as you progress through the 30 tiers.
Challenges and XP
All you need to do to earn XP is play F1® 2021! However you play, you’ll increase your XP and work through the tiers. If you want to get even more XP, completing the Podium Pass challenges will boost your total.
Each Podium Pass Series is eight weeks long, so there’s plenty of time to progress through the 30 free and VIP tiers. Don’t forget your XP and tier progress will be reset at the beginning of each Series so don’t leave it to the last minute.
Here are some of our favourite items from Series 1:
Drive by your rivals in a flash with the ‘Lightning Stripe’ livery, which you can unlock in the free tiers. Here, we’ve paired it with the ‘Shock’ helmet, and the ‘Contours’ suit and gloves, both available in the Item Shop. Astonishing set, we think you’ll agree.
Keep your cool on track with ‘Frostfire’ from the Item Shop. We’ve twinned this ice-cold livery with ‘Disruption’, a helmet available in the VIP tier, and the ‘Ceres’ suit and gloves, both found in Podium Pass Series 1’s Item Shop.
Blast off into space by equipping the ‘Intergalactic’ set, featuring livery, suit, helmet, and gloves. You too can reach for the stars by unlocking this galactic set in the VIP tiers.
Find the awesome ‘Colour Code’ livery in the Item Shop. In our screenshots here, we’ve selected it with the ‘Vapor’ helmet, which you can also check out in the Item Shop, as well as the incredible ‘Scanline’ suit and gloves, available in the free tiers.
Brand-new to F1® 2021 are victory radio calls, and with these you can take the chequered flag in style. Some of our favourite calls from Series 1 are the now-infamous “not bad for a number two driver”, “shoeys all round!” and “anyone want to go again?”, all available for you to grab in the Item Shop.
You’ve got until September, 8 to get through as many tiers as you can and show off your rewards on track.
