The F1 exhibition in Singapore is set to make its historic Asian debut this July, bringing the award-winning immersive experience to Gardens by the Bay for the first time anywhere in the region. From 23 July to 18 October 2026, motorsport fans and curious visitors alike can step into the world of Formula 1 through seven specially designed rooms featuring championship-winning cars, racing simulators, rare artefacts, and interactive technology.

Singapore becomes the 11th host city worldwide, following successful runs in London, Madrid, Melbourne, Amsterdam, Vienna, Toronto, Buenos Aires, and Oberhausen. Over 1.3 million visitors have already experienced the exhibition globally, and now Asia’s most passionate F1 market will finally get its turn.

When and where to attend

The exhibition opens on Thursday 23 July 2026 and closes Sunday 18 October 2026, running just over a week beyond the Singapore Grand Prix weekend this year. It is located within Gardens by the Bay, adjacent to Satay by the Bay, with direct access from Gardens by the Bay MRT Station via Exit 1.

Opening hours differ across the run:

• 23 July – 2 August 2026: Open daily, 11am–9pm
• 3 August – 18 October 2026: Open Tuesday–Sunday, 11am–8pm

Entry closes 15 minutes after the final session begins, and visitors are recommended to allow at least 90 minutes to experience the full exhibition.

Ticket prices and booking

Tickets are sold exclusively through Ticketek via Ticketek.com.sg. General admission starts at:

• S$49 for adults (18+)
• S$40 for teenagers (13–17)
• S$29 for children (5–12)
• Free for children aged 4 and under

Pre-sale access for the waitlist began at 9am SGT on 17 June for 47 hours, with general public tickets released at 9am SGT on 19 June. Tickets purchased on the day incur an additional S$2 fee, and all tickets are strictly non-refundable but may be exchanged for a different date via the Ticketek app, provided exchanges are completed at least 24 hours before your scheduled session.

Advanced booking is strongly recommended, as the exhibition is a limited-time touring event and simulator availability is scarce.

What’s inside: seven immersive rooms

The F1 exhibition in Singapore takes visitors through seven purpose-built rooms, each commissioned in partnership with award-winning curators, artists, and filmmakers.

Once Upon A Time In Formula 1®

This gallery traces the sport’s 76-year history, highlighting defining moments from Enzo Ferrari and Ayrton Senna to the global impact of Netflix’s Drive to Survive series. Rare historic artefacts and previously unseen film footage bring the past to life.

Revolution By Design

Here, visitors explore the cutting-edge technology shaping the future of Formula 1, from aerodynamics to sustainable fuel innovations. The room showcases how engineering pushes the sport forward every season.

Design Lab

A rare look into the engineering and innovation behind the world’s fastest sport. You’ll see car designs from teams including Red Bull Racing, McLaren, Mercedes AMG Petronas, Scuderia Ferrari, and more.

Drivers and Duels

This room celebrates legendary rivalries and champions, telling the stories of the personalities that have shaped F1 through cinematic storytelling and interactive displays.

Survival

One of the exhibition’s most powerful highlights is Survival, featuring parts of Romain Grosjean’s HAAS car from his dramatic 2020 Bahrain crash, along with his gloves and boots. The exhibit underscores the safety innovations that have transformed the sport.

The Pit Wall

A cinematic experience placing visitors at the heart of the action, simulating the intensity of race-day strategy from the pit wall.

Singapore Drive (exclusive to Singapore)

This room is unique to the Singapore edition, honouring the nation’s decorated history in F1 beyond hosting the annual Grand Prix since 2008. It includes Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull RB7—the car that secured his 2011 Singapore victory and subsequent World Champion title.

Racing simulators: experience the Fastest Lap

Visitors can test their skills on the “Fastest Lap” racing simulators, experiencing what it feels like to drive an F1 car around the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The simulator experience lasts approximately seven minutes and is available as an add-on to any exhibition ticket for an additional S$20.

Requirements for the simulator:

• Minimum height: 130cm (1.3 metres)
• Recommended for ages 12+ (no minimum age)
• Weight limit: 120kg
• A short safety video must be watched before participation

Simulator tickets are sold exclusively via Ticketek and must be purchased at the same time as your exhibition ticket; they cannot be added later. Availability is limited, so early booking is essential.

Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer at Formula 1, stated: “As one of Formula 1’s most iconic destinations, Singapore is the perfect backdrop to host the critically acclaimed immersive experience, offering fans, both old and new, a compelling way to explore the sport’s history, innovation and excitement beyond the track”.

Gordon Pitt of Sony Music Australia added: “As home to the original night race and one of the most celebrated races on the calendar, Singapore delivers the intensity, spectacle and global appeal that make the sport so compelling”.
