The 2026 Formula One season is underway, and it's already setting the tone for a new era of competition.New teams have joined the grid, the brand -new Madring circuit is set to debut, and re -engineered cars are changing how the action unfolds once the lights go out.
One of the biggest additions in the 2026 season pack is the all -new Madring circuit, a fast, flowing track set in the heart of the Spanish capital.
Madring blends long straights with high -speed corners designed for thrilling racing and standout overtaking moments through the city streets.Using early CAD data as a foundation, the Codemasters team brought Madring to life from the ground up, with every corner carefully shaped to deliver an experience that feels as authentic as it looks.To capture the character of a track still taking shape in the real world, the team meticulously refined the circuit in -game, dialing in its flow, elevation and racing lines.Madring joins the official 2026 calendar in Career in My Team and is also available across Grand Prix and Time Trial.2026 marks a unique moment, as Cadillac joins the championship, expanding the grid to 11 teams for the first time since the 2016 season.Audi also enters the sport by taking over Sauber, combining an established F1 foundation with Audi's motorsport pedigree.
In the Season Pack, Career Mode, My Team, Grand Prix, Time Trial, Split Screen and Unranked Multiplayer have been adjusted to reflect these changes, complete with the official roster of 11 teams and 22 drivers.
In My Team Korea, players can create their own team as the grid's 12th contender, taking on the 2026 season with refreshed rules, practice programs and race objectives.Step into the 2026 season now layered with authentic new systems that give you more control over how your car delivers performance across every lap.The new cars are fully realized, featuring updated designs, authentic Active Aero animations on the front and rear wings, and integrated warning lights that bring a new layer of realism to the grid.Let's start with the most powerful change, the new Overtake mode.When you're within one second of the car ahead of the detection point, overtake mode unlocks, allowing you to trigger a concentrated burst of electric energy.This is available to use at any point on the following lap, designed to help you commit to a pass.
Alongside that, Boost mode gives you direct control over extra electric power from the battery, letting you deploy it anywhere on track, whether you're building an attack, defending position or managing pace across the lap.
And with recharge now happening not just under braking, but through lift and partial throttle, managing your energy becomes an essential part of how you drive each lap.Finally, new Active Aero Dynamics offers more freedom than DRS ever could, available in more areas of each circuit than DRS was previously.Active Aero adapts your front and rear wings as you move around the circuit, balancing straight -line efficiency and cornering grip for a responsive drive that feels great on both gameand wheel.You can manage both overtake mode and active aerodynamics yourself to gain a strategic edge or enable the new ASSIST to handle those systems for you so you can stay focused on the racing.Put it all together and these systems deliver racing that's less automatic and more expressive.
How you deploy and manage your energy will shape every overtake, every defense, and your race result.If you already own F125, you'll need the new Season Pack to experience all of the authentic new content.
If you're new, the 2026 Season Edition Bundle delivers the complete experience, including Breaking Point 3, the full 25 Season, and the all -new content.
