If you want to enable Overtake Mode during a race, a Battery component with Overtake Mode stat needs to be equipped in your loadout set up. Overtake Mode stat is currently only available for Battery components. These components will have a Overtake Mode icon displayed.

When upgrading components with Overtake Mode, this will increase the overall Overtake Mode stat. Overtake Mode stat is broken down into three areas; impact, duration and recharge rate.

Impact - determines the increase of Speed and Overtaking ability when Overtake Mode is active

Duration - determines the length of time Overtake Mode lasts when activated

Recharge Rate - determines the length of time it takes for Overtake Mode to recover and become available to active again

Each individual Battery component will differ in terms of which areas they're strongest in. For example, one battery could be high Impact but with a lower Duration and Recharge rate, while another could have less Impact but higher in regard to Duration and Recharge Rate.

The Overtake Mode button is displayed above your driver panel and below the power unit and engine modes in races. This will display in different ways depending on its current status:

- Disabled: Overtake Mode is locked if a Battery component without Overtake Mode stat has been equipped or Overtake Mode conditions have not been met (e.g. in safety car conditions, reaching 0% tyre life or entering the pit lane).

- Recharge: Overtake Mode has just been used and is in its recharge period before it can be used again. This is also displayed for the first lap of the race where Overtake Mode can not be activated.

- Ready: Overtake Mode is ready to be activated

- Active: Overtake Mode is currently activated

Overtake Mode ready and active status can also be seen for the rival.
