Formula 1 has confirmed that every team on the 2027 grid will be available in the Hot Wheels Infinite Rush video game. The official F1 website announced that a new "F1 Car Collection Pack" will go live in March 2027, giving players the chance to select from all eleven constructors – from Mercedes and Red Bull to the newcomers Alpine and Aston Martin.
What the pack includes
The collection will feature each team's current 2027‑spec car, complete with authentic liveries, driver numbers and team‑specific performance characteristics. According to Formula1.com, the developers have worked closely with the sport's technical partners to ensure the virtual models reflect real‑world aerodynamics, power‑unit output and tyre behaviour. The pack also adds team‑specific garage environments, allowing gamers to customise their pit lane and celebrate podium moments with accurate team branding.
Why it matters for fans
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, a free‑to‑play arcade‑style racer, has grown in popularity among casual and hardcore motorsport fans alike. By incorporating the full grid, the game bridges the gap between the fantasy of Hot Wheels and the realism of Formula 1, offering Indian fans a more immersive way to engage with the sport between race weekends. The move also aligns with F1’s broader digital strategy, which includes partnerships with gaming platforms such as EA Sports’ F1 series and mobile titles like F1 Mobile Racing.
For Indian fans
Indian gamers can look forward to accessing the new pack via the Hot Wheels Infinite Rush app on iOS and Android. The game is free to download, with the F1 Car Collection Pack offered as an in‑app purchase. Fans can expect the rollout to be synchronized with local time zones, meaning the March 2027 launch will be available at 00:00 IST. The game is also integrated with FanCode’s live‑streaming service, allowing users to switch seamlessly from a race broadcast to a quick session in Infinite Rush during commercial breaks.
With the full grid now officially part of the Hot Wheels universe, the partnership underscores the growing synergy between motorsport and interactive entertainment – a trend that should keep Indian F1 enthusiasts engaged year‑round.
