Re: Can't pickup new McLaren F1

I had this issue too, here's the requirements:

- You need to at least complete the second race of the main story.  

- Upon completing the second race of the story, you will a message about the Black Market (It's voiced and hard to miss, no worries).

- Rep lv 20 required for DB11

- Rep lv 30 required for the McLaren

If you have already done all this:

- You probably need to start a new save...☹️

I had been postponing playing the story with my new save, so i initially didn't receive the message about the Black Market. After much YouTube checking and trial and error, I figured out the trigger for said event.

    Yeah I’m rep level 50. Already done all the story stuff. What do you mean by start a new save?

  • Until they fix it.  The Black Market event requires doing part of the story to trigger the event; it won't trigger otherwise, even if your at rep lv 50.

    If you have completed all of the story, you may have to delete your current save and start a new game.  If you're on PC, you can make a back-up of your current save.

    Edit:  Nevermind backing up your save, you're on Xbox.  You'll have to wait on a fix or start a new game.

    I know it’s so annoying I tried to pick it up on my PS4 but I couldn’t

  • September 2022 still got the same f*cking problem too. But, kinda different, cause i already been driving the F1, I was even able to complete part of the BM challenges to improve it,

    until i change playing in UNITE mod to play the original game w/ mods
    Long story short, EA SUCKS DUDEEEE
