This new addition aims to increase the game‘s competitiveness in F1 World mode. But how does Fanzone work in F1 24?

Here’s what Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters, shared with us about F1 24 Fanzone.

F1 24 Fanzone explained

F1 24 Fanzone is the new addition that EA Sports introduced in F1 World, rewarding fans’ loyalty to their favorite drivers and teams – “it’s not a popularity contest, we’ve made sure it’s not the Fanzone that’s got the most fans, it’s the zone that’s most effective in F1 World,” explained Mather.

Upon entering F1 World for the first time, players will need to pick who their favorite driver and team are. After this, they will be added to a specific Fanzone to earn points and make their team reach the top of the leaderboard. 

Each event is set to last eight weeks, Lee Mather confirmed. After these events, players from the winning Fanzone will receive rewards, including a golden expression attached to their name, a license to flaunt being part of the winning team, and other content.

How to earn Fanzone points in F1 24

F1 24 players can earn points for their Fanzone by playing any game mode in F1 World. This way, you can accumulate points by completing races, achieving daily, weekly, monthly objectives, and more.

The new Career F1 24 Specialists are also included in Fanzone, Mather explained, that they “will give players extra objectives, such as contribute this number of points to your Fanzone, race on this track for your Fanzone” in order to earn more points.
