How the Garage Works
- Pick a car Tap a team button at the top to switch cars. There are 12 to explore: our own PW-01 plus every active team car on the 2026 grid.
- Tap the numbered dots Each car has 5 red numbered dots sitting on real parts, like the front wing, the halo and the rear wing. Tap a dot and a card pops up on the photo explaining what that part does.
- Or use the Spotlight list Under the photo, the Spotlight list shows the same 5 points by name. Tap any row to open the same popup.
- Rev the engine Press Start Engine and it cranks and fires into a real idle. Press and hold a paddle on the steering wheel, or hold the Rev the Engine button, and the revs climb to the redline. Tap the right paddle (+) to shift up a gear and the left paddle (−) to shift down: the revs and the engine note drop on an upshift and blip up on a downshift, like the real car. Turn your sound on: the engine note is a real F1 recording, matched to the engine maker of the car you picked, and it follows your revs. Press Stop Engine when you finish and it falls silent. On a computer keyboard: E starts and stops the engine, hold Space to rev, and the right and left arrow keys shift up and down.
