It's basically going to be a game mode/game inside Fortnite and part of their drive to have fortnite as a platform hosting full size and quality games. Over time battle royale is just going to be one of many games on the platform and not the main focus.

interesting, a continuation of the Fortnite meta verse

I guess technically it’s a “Fortnite experience”. From the announcement:

Today we previewed three brand new experiences coming to Fortnite: Rocket Racing; Fortnite Festival; and LEGO Fortnite, which is built in partnership with The LEGO Group. 

These new live-service games will launch in Fortnite later this week and be available globally to play for free.

Rocket Racing is a supersonic arcade racer where players drift, fly, and boost with friends through an ever-growing selection of tracks.”

So a way to show that I'm terrible at both Rocket League AND Fortnite? I do enjoy the chaos though

The cinematic trailer they used for this at the Game Awards was quite poor, just two cars having a boring race with not a lot going on at all. Very poor showing of it compared to what they showed in the Fortnite live event. Goes live today (if it isn't already) so will give it a go, hopefully they have a gameplay trailer as well that does it justice.
