Formula Legends – Ver. 1.4

Release date: March 30th 2026
Patch notes:

New Gameplay Systems

Overtake Boost

If you cross the line within one second of the car ahead, you’ll unlock an Overtake Boost for the following lap.
It can only be used during that lap, adding a new layer of strategy and rewarding close, well-timed racing.

A/B Mode

The new cars feature a dual aerodynamic system:

A Mode can be activated in specific sections, increasing top speed and acceleration on straights.
B Mode activates automatically, providing more grip and stability through corners.

Managing these modes is key to maximizing performance.

Battery Management

With the 2026 regulations, fuel management has been replaced by battery management, featuring three mappings:

Balance – standard performance and consumption
Performance – higher speed and acceleration, faster battery drain
Eco – reduced performance with improved recharge

Strategy now plays an even bigger role throughout the race.

Free Content

To let everyone try the new generation, we’re releasing a free 2026 team: Custom Motors, available in Custom and Time Attack modes even without owning the DLC.

We’re also launching a completely free season: Late ’50s, including a new car, new legends, and a special track: Italy “Super Vintage” variant.

Leaderboard Reset

Alongside the new season and recent refinements, and in agreement with the majority of our community, we’ve Reset the online leaderboards to provide a fresh start that reflects the current state of the game.
