Duels

Duels are the main races in F1® Clash. Duels can be accessed by selecting the ‘Race’ button on the Home Screen and consist of twelve individual Series that feature four different circuits each.

Entering a race requires a race entry fee of Coins. The Coin amount required will depend on the Series you are racing in.

To progress through Duels, earn Flags to unlock the next Series. Flags are earned by race wins. How many Flags you win for a race win depends on the Series you are racing in and will be displayed on the Series panel.

Flags are just one reward type you will gain from Duel race wins. Other rewards you will earn are:

  • Coins: you will earn back your entry fee plus your opponents entry fee for winning the race 

  • Crates: You will earn either a Standard, Gold, Platinum or Legendary Crate so long as you have a free Crate Slot available

  • Pit Pass Trophies 

  • Club Reputation 

If you lose a race, you will not get your entry fee back. You may also lose Flags depending on the Series you are racing in.

To win a Duel, you need to score more race points than your opponent. Your Drivers will gain race points depending on their final positions once the race is finished. The points per position are:

1st = 24 points

2nd = 23 points

3rd = 22 points

4th = 21 points

5th = 20 points

6th = 19 points

7th = 18 points

8th = 17 points

9th = 16 points

10th = 15 points

11th = 14 points

12th = 13 points

13th = 12 points

14th = 11 points

15th = 10 points

16th = 9 points

17th = 8 points

18th = 7 points

19th = 6 points

20th = 5 points

21st = 4 points

22nd = 3 points

23rd = 2 points

24th = 1 point

Both of your Driver’s race points will be totalled to give you a final race score. This score will determine who wins the race. The Player with the highest, total race score wins. This means you don’t necessarily need to finish ahead of both of your opponent’s Drivers, as long as your total race score is higher than theirs!Your Drivers final positions: 2nd & 3rd = 45 points

Your Rivals final positions: 1st & 5th = 44 points

At the end of the race, you’ll also have the opportunity to review yours and your opponent’s races in the debrief. Here you can view and compare the equipped Drivers and Components in your own and your rivals loadout, as well as the tyre and Pit Stop strategies taken.

Sprint Race Events

Sprint Races are weekly events available from unlocking Series 2 in Duels that usually run Monday and Tuesday. While running, Sprint Races will display on the left hand side of the Home Screen.

Split into groups of up to five players who are in the same highest Series unlocked as yourself, compete in Duel races in your highest unlocked Series to earn race points that count towards the Sprint race points goal. 

The Sprint race points goal will differ depending on your highest Series unlocked. Be the first to reach the points goal to claim the top position prizes. 

Duel races do not need to be won to count toward the Sprint race points goal. Races must however be completed in the highest Series unlocked to count. 

Once you have completed a Sprint race and claimed your reward, you will automatically be put into another Sprint race group.

The League

The League runs from Monday to Monday. The League leaderboard can be accessed by selecting the podium button top right of the Home Screen.

Your score and position in the League is determined by the number of Coins you earn throughout the week from race wins. The more Coins you earn, the higher your Coin balance and position on the League leaderboard. 

At the end of the League, you may receive a Crate reward depending on your final position. The League also features promotion and demotion zones, if your final position in the current League within the promotion zone, you’ll also be promoted onto the next League division.

There are currently 13 divisions available, from Rookie to Legend. 

Higher League divisions provide the opportunity to gain higher Series and rarities of Crates. It also provides you with a League division bonus which applies to the total number of assets you receive from Crates.

Grand Prix Events

Grand Prix™ Events run from Wednesday to Monday. In Grand Prix™ Events, players compete against each other in groups of up to 100 players by completing races aiming to achieve the highest race point total in each round.
