How to get the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 for free in Rocket League

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as acquiring a cool new car in Rocket League. Things get even better if the car is free and requires you to complete a handful of objectives or challenges, because it makes getting it all the more worth it. Now, Rocket League is giving players a free car, and it’s not just any regular one.

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is available right now through the Summer Road Trip event. You won’t need to spend credits, but you do need to complete a few in-game tasks. The event started on July 22 and runs until August 4. During this time, players can complete five special challenges to unlock the ZR1 car body, along with free decals and bonus items

Here’s how you can acquire the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 for free in Rocket League. Of course, if you want a buddy to help you, then you can always hire a professional Rocket League booster from Eloking to give you a hand.

How do you complete the Summer Road Trip challenges in Rocket League?

To get your hands on the Corvette ZR1, the first step is completing five in-game challenges during Rocket League’s Summer Road Trip event. These went live on July 22 and will remain active until August 4. Here is every challenge broken down:

• Play a private match with custom mutators.

Just hop into a private match and tweak a few settings: add unlimited boost, change gravity, anything that counts as a mutator. You can do this solo, and once done, you will unlock the Maddening Mutator player title. If your Fortnite account is linked, you will also get the League Balloon Glider there.

• Get 15 assists or centers in online matches.

Assists are straightforward, but centers might throw you off. Essentially, you must make passes towards the middle of your opponent’s goal area that could lead to a score. The best way to achieve this is by playing Heatseeker, which makes racking up centers and assists significantly easier. Completing this nets you 5,000 XP.

• Score 15 goals in online matches.

Just score goals in any online mode, 3v3 Casual or Heatseeker are usually good picks. Another 5,000 XP is rewarded upon completion.

• Get 15 saves or epic saves in online matches.

Again, Heatseeker is the best mode for this, as it is the best for farming saves. Completing this one earns you the Hawaiian Shirt Connoisseur title, plus the Hairpin Outfit in Fortnite if your accounts are connected.

• Finish any four challenges from above.

Completing the four challenges above will unlock the Corvette ZR1 wheels, which you must equip for the next step.

What is the final step to unlock the Corvette ZR1 car body in Rocket League?

The final challenge opened up on July 28, and it's a must for actually unlocking the car:

• Play 5 online matches in a party with the ZR1 wheels equipped

You must equip the wheels you just unlocked and play five online games while in a party with at least one other player. Solo queue doesn't count here, so grab a friend or find someone to team up with. Once done, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Car Body is all yours.

What are the rewards for completing the Summer Road Trip challenge in Rocket League?

Once you are done with that final challenge and have your hands on the car, you also unlock a bunch of free decals to style your Corvette:

• ZR1 Stripes
• Sea Wolf Gray
• Fish Farewell
• ZR1 Circuit (limited-time and event exclusive)

If your Fortnite and Rocket League accounts share the same Epic ID, all your rewards, including the car, wheels, and some cosmetics, will show up in both games automatically; a nice little bonus. 

Epic also plans to bring these items to the shop later, but since the ZR1 Circuit decal is exclusive to this event and the entire set is currently free, this is the perfect time to grab it. It's not every day that Rocket League gives away a car this cool for free that also plays great with its Breakout hitbox.
