The award-winning Formula 1 Exhibition is set to make its first-ever pit stop in Asia, landing at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay on July 23, 2026. The blockbuster showcase, which has already thrilled crowds in London, Madrid, Melbourne, and Amsterdam, brings more than seven decades of motorsport history into one immersive experience. From championship-winning cars and legendary rivalries to a moving tribute to a near-fatal crash, the exhibition offers fans a deep dive into the sport’s past, present, and future — all leading up to the Singapore Grand Prix in October.
What is the Formula 1 Exhibition?
Described as a love letter to Formula 1, the touring exhibition is an immersive journey through the sport’s 76-year history. It combines iconic race machines, cinematic storytelling, interactive displays, and behind-the-scenes access into a single sprawling venue. Singapore marks the first Asian destination for the global tour, which has previously drawn massive crowds across Europe and Australia.
Where and when is it held?
The exhibition takes over a dedicated space at Gardens by the Bay, located next to Satay by the Bay and a short walk from Gardens by the Bay MRT station (Exit 1). It opens July 23, 2026, for a limited run. Organizers have not yet announced a closing date, but the show is expected to run through the Singapore Grand Prix weekend in October.
How to get tickets
Tickets are available via Ticketek, with prices starting at $49 for adults and $29 for children. Visitors can choose from Flexi, Standard, or Peak session options. A premium Pole Position ticket includes access to racing simulators, and group packages are available for larger parties.
What to expect inside
The exhibition is divided into seven immersive zones, each exploring a different chapter of Formula 1 history. Visitors begin with a walk through the sport’s biggest moments before diving into the technology, engineering, and rivalries that have shaped it.
Key highlights
Among the standout exhibits are championship-winning machines, including Sebastian Vettel’s 2011 Red Bull RB7 — the car that dominated that season and won the Singapore Grand Prix — and Jenson Button’s 2003 BAR Honda 005. Fans can also step into racing simulators modeled after the Marina Bay Street Circuit, browse rare race suits, helmets, and memorabilia, and examine the engineering that keeps F1 cars glued to the track.
One of the most poignant sections revisits Romain Grosjean’s terrifying 2020 crash in Bahrain. The display includes parts of his HAAS car alongside the gloves and boots he wore that day, offering a sobering reminder of the sport’s dangers and the advances in safety that saved his life.
The experience concludes with Singapore Drive, a tribute to the city-state’s role in Formula 1 history — celebrating the circuit that gave the sport its first-ever night race.
Broader impact
As Formula 1 continues to surge in popularity across Asia — fueled by Netflix’s Drive to Survive and a growing fanbase in markets like China, Japan, and Singapore — the exhibition arrives at a pivotal moment. It not only cements Singapore’s status as a key hub for the sport but also offers new fans a chance to understand the drama, engineering, and human stories behind the wheel. For die-hard followers, it’s a rare opportunity to see history up close. For newcomers, it’s an accessible entry point into a world often defined by speed and secrecy.
