The award-winning Formula 1 Exhibition lands in Singapore on July 23, offering an interactive deep dive into motorsport history before October’s night race.
If the roar of engines at the Singapore Grand Prix feels like a lifetime away, a new attraction aims to fill the gap. The Formula 1 Exhibition, a traveling museum experience that has drawn crowds across Europe, North America, and Australia, is making its Asian debut in Singapore. It will open at Gardens by the Bay on July 23, just steps from Satay by the Bay and a short walk from the MRT station. This marks the exhibition’s 11th global stop, following sold-out runs in London, Madrid, Vienna, Toronto, Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, and Melbourne.
Seven themed rooms chart 76 years of racing history
Spanning seven distinct galleries, the exhibition is a chronological and thematic journey through Formula 1’s evolution. Visitors begin with “Once Upon A Time In Formula 1,” a visual timeline of the championship’s most unforgettable moments, before moving to “Revolution By Design,” which showcases the engineering milestones that have defined the sport.
From there, “Design Lab” puts the physics of speed on full display, revealing what makes the fastest cars tick. The rivalry-driven “Drivers and Duels” room celebrates the head-to-head battles that fueled decades of drama.
One of the most sobering exhibits is “Survival,” which revisits Romain Grosjean’s fiery 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix crash. On display are genuine fragments of his Haas race car, along with the gloves and boots he wore during the accident—a stark reminder of both the risks and the life-saving innovations in modern F1 safety.
The experience concludes with “The Pit Wall,” a cinematic immersion that drops fans into race-day strategy, and “Singapore Drive,” a dedicated space honoring the city-state’s place in F1 lore as one of the championship’s most iconic night-race destinations.
Legendary race cars and virtual thrills
No F1 exhibit is complete without the machines themselves. Headlining the collection is Sebastian Vettel’s 2011 Red Bull RB7, a car that dominated that season with 12 victories—including a memorable win at the Marina Bay Street Circuit—and secured both the Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships. Also confirmed is the 2003 BAR Honda 005, driven by Jenson Button and Jacques Villeneuve. Organizers say additional historic cars will be announced closer to opening day.
For those itching to take the wheel, the exhibition features state-of-the-art racing simulators that let visitors virtually tackle the Marina Bay circuit. Beyond the sims, expect rare race suits and helmets, interactive displays explaining F1 technology, exclusive archival footage, and behind-the-scenes content contributed by top teams and drivers.

Why this matters
For Southeast Asian motorsport fans, this exhibition is a rare opportunity to engage with F1’s heritage on home soil—and a compelling prelude to the Singapore Grand Prix in October. As the sport continues to expand its global fanbase, especially among younger audiences, experiences like this bridge the gap between television spectacle and tangible history.
