F2™ 2022 Season Update has Arrived
Emulate your heroes and dive into the challenging discipline of Formula 2™ - with the 2022 season, team, and driver roster - available now for all players.
The F2™ season may already have wrapped up with Felipe Drugovich taking the crown ahead of the final race in the calendar but you can re-write history as one of the 22 drivers on the grid including rookies Logan Sargeant and Jack Doohan, in a 14-round season that includes F2™ Sprint.
Over half of the current F1® grid have taken part in F2™ at some point in their racing careers. See for yourself what it takes in Career, Grand Prix, Time Trial and Multiplayer modes.
The Future is Here

You can race in this futuristic livery for roughly a month before the livery changes back to the standard one. Then, from December, the livery will be available for download for free for use on your player car.
