The Tech Power Pack DLC for Formula Legends on Xbox pushes the boundaries of innovation, introducing three cars that reimagine the most experimental moments in motorsport history. Like the base game and previous expansion, these machines are visually spectacular, but they continue to demand the kind of simulation-heavy precision that defines—and sometimes defines the limits of—the Formula Legends experience.
Innovation on the Grid
If the Raw Power Pack was about brute force and speed, the Tech Power Pack is about the “what ifs” of engineering. The developers have curated a trio of cars that break the mold:
- HexaTyre 34 – Easily the most radical addition, this multi-wheeled marvel redefines what a race car looks like. With its extra wheels, the traction is undeniable, allowing you to attack corners with a grip that feels almost impossible. It’s a mechanical curiosity that is a joy to photograph in replay mode.
- TramTram Cyclone – A bold 70s design featuring experimental aerodynamics. It captures the era’s risk-taking spirit perfectly. Driving it requires mastering its unique handling quirks, which, true to the game’s nature, is a challenge that requires patience.
- Jorsey BeeSting – A sleek 90s classic that feels like a refined sibling to the Jorsey seen in the previous DLC. It balances engineering elegance with raw speed, offering a slightly more traditional, yet lightning-fast, driving experience.
A Technical Showcase
As I mentioned in my original Formula Legends review, this game is “gorgeous to look at, tough to love.” That remains true here. The HexaTyre 34, for instance, is fascinating to look at, but managing its unique physics engine requires a steady hand and serious battery management. The “innovation” here isn’t an “easy mode”—if anything, these experimental designs add new layers of complexity to the simulation.
For the hardcore sim racer, figuring out how to maximize the TramTram Cyclone’s aero or the HexaTyre’s grip will be a rewarding puzzle. For those of us still wishing for a breezier arcade experience, these cars are beautiful, formidable beasts that will punish you for not respecting their engineering.
Final Verdict
The Tech Power Pack DLC is a fantastic curation of motorsport’s weirdest and wildest innovations. It adds visual variety and technical depth to an already deep game. If you love the history of racing tech, this is a must-have. Just remember: these cars are designed to challenge everything you know about racing, and in Formula Legends, that challenge is always steep.
