F1 2020 Podium Pass: Season One rewards, challenges, liveries, cosmetics & more

One of the most anticipated new features of F1 2020, the Podium Pass, has just gone live.

What is it? And crucially, what rewards does it bring?

What is Podium Pass?

Podium Pass is a series of unlockable rewards such as car liveries and driver suits. It follows in the footsteps of similar systems in other games, most notably Fortnite’s Battle Pass.

Players earn experience points as they play the game. In doing so they will level up their podium pass, unlocking more content. There is a free version of the pass which is available to everyone.

There is also a ‘VIP’ version of the pass, which is bought using the in-game currency PitCoin.

VIP PASS: Details on what purchasing VIP status would net you

PitCoin can be bought with real money, or earned as part of the Podium Pass. The VIP version of the pass yields additional items per level.

Each series of Podium Pass will last for slightly less than two months, giving players ample time to earn their rewards.

Challenges

To help players gain the experience points they need, there is an array of challenges which can be completed in return for XP rewards. There are three types of challenges: standard, VIP, and series.

EXPERIENCE: The challenges are broken down into three categories

Standard challenges are simple tasks which yield low amounts of experience. Every day a new standard challenge will become available.

The ability to complete VIP challenges is unlocked by purchasing the VIP Podium Pass. These challenges have higher XP rewards while still remaining relatively simple.

As you might expect, players can complete the solo series challenges in the game’s various solo modes, the career challenges through career mode or My Team, etc.

The items themselves are classified on a scale between common and legendary. This reflects how much PitCoin they would cost in the item shop, were they to be available there.
