For decades, Formula 1 has been about far more than just who crosses the chequered flag first. It is a sport built on engineering brilliance, split-second strategy, fearless drivers and some of the most iconic machines ever created. This July, Singaporeans will have the opportunity to step inside that world as The Formula 1 Exhibition makes its long-awaited Asian debut.
Opening from 23 July 2026 at Gardens by the Bay, the internationally acclaimed exhibition arrives in Singapore after successful runs in Madrid, Vienna, Toronto, Buenos Aires, London, Amsterdam and Melbourne. Having already attracted almost two million visitors worldwide, Singapore becomes the 11th host city and the first in Asia, making this one of the year’s biggest attractions for Formula 1 fans and curious newcomers alike.
Unlike a traditional museum, The Formula 1 Exhibition is designed as an immersive journey through the sport’s remarkable 76-year history. Through interactive technology, cinematic storytelling and exclusive artefacts, visitors will experience the evolution of Formula 1 from its earliest days to the cutting-edge innovations shaping its future.
Legendary Cars Take Centre Stage
One of the exhibition’s biggest draws is undoubtedly its collection of historic Formula 1 cars.
Among the headline exhibits is the Red Bull RB7, the machine that cemented Sebastian Vettel’s dominance during the 2011 season. Designed by legendary engineer Adrian Newey and powered by Renault’s RS27 V8 engine, the RB7 claimed 11 Grand Prix victories, including the Singapore Grand Prix, while delivering both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships. It remains one of Formula 1’s most celebrated championship-winning cars.

Joining it is the Williams FW15C, widely regarded as one of the most technologically advanced Formula 1 cars ever built. Driven by Alain Prost and Damon Hill during the 1993 season, it combined revolutionary active suspension, traction control and advanced aerodynamics to dominate the championship, becoming an engineering benchmark that is still admired today.

Fans will also be able to see the Lotus E21, remembered for Kimi Räikkönen’s victory at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix and its podium finish at the Singapore Grand Prix. The car represented one of Lotus’ strongest performances during the modern Formula 1 era, showcasing an impressive balance of speed, reliability and aerodynamic efficiency.

Completing the line-up is the BAR Honda 005, driven by Jenson Button and Jacques Villeneuve during the 2003 season. While it never achieved race victories, the car played an important role in Honda’s return to Formula 1, laying the technical groundwork for future successes as a works team.
Together, these four cars tell the story of Formula 1’s relentless pursuit of innovation across different generations.
The exhibition goes well beyond displaying historic race cars.
Visitors begin their experience in Once Upon A Time in Formula 1, an immersive gallery tracing the sport’s defining moments before moving into Revolution By Design, where the spotlight shifts to the groundbreaking engineering innovations that continue to redefine motorsport.
Those fascinated by technical development will likely find Design Lab particularly compelling, offering a rare glimpse into the complex engineering processes behind the world’s fastest racing machines. Meanwhile, Drivers and Duels celebrates some of Formula 1’s greatest rivalries, showcasing the personalities and competitive spirit that have shaped the championship through the decades.
Perhaps the exhibition’s most emotional section is Survival, which recounts Romain Grosjean’s horrifying 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix crash. Visitors will see genuine pieces of his destroyed HAAS Formula 1 car, together with his gloves and boots, providing a powerful reminder of both the dangers of the sport and the extraordinary advances in modern safety technology.
The experience continues with The Pit Wall, a cinematic installation that places visitors in the heart of race-day strategy, before concluding in Singapore Drive, a dedicated gallery celebrating Singapore’s unique contribution to Formula 1 through its iconic Marina Bay Street Circuit and the world’s first Formula 1 night race.
The exhibition also includes state-of-the-art racing simulators, allowing visitors to test their driving skills on Singapore’s Marina Bay Street Circuit. Combined with rare race suits, helmets, interactive displays, archival footage and exclusive behind-the-scenes content, the exhibition offers an experience that appeals equally to lifelong Formula 1 enthusiasts and those discovering the sport for the first time.
The exhibition opens 23 July 2026 at Gardens by the Bay, with tickets starting from S$49 for adults and S$29 for children. Visitors can choose from Peak, Standard and Flexi admission, while premium Pole Position tickets include simulator access. Group bookings and corporate packages are also available.
