At the end of August, Audi announced its entry into Formula 1 during the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps and at the same time unveiled a show car with a special Audi F1 launch livery. EA SPORTS and Codemasters have now digitally recreated this exact show car in perfect detail and integrated it into the F1® 22 video game with the latest in-game update.
F1® 22 is the latest version of the official video game of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, available for PlayStation, Xbox and PC – also in VR on PC. All of the current teams, drivers and tracks are included in the game. Audi’s show car is part of the “Podium Pass Series 4 VIP tier” will be available to gamers from December 7.
In the real world, Audi will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, starting in the 2026 season, with its own factory team in cooperation with Swiss racing team Sauber. The first tests are planned for 2025. At its Neuburg an der Donau facility, Audi is developing its own power unit for the new Formula 1 regulations that will apply from 2026 and take a major step toward sustainability. The power units will be more efficient than they are today, as the proportion of electric power will increase significantly and CO2-neutral synthetic fuel, according to EU standards, will be used.
