Formula One (F1) buzz has officially started in Singapore with The F1 Exhibition, which has just opened on 23 July 2026. If you’re on the fence about making a pit stop at this new exhibition, we’ve got you covered.
Keep reading to check out our experience and have a little preview of what to expect before you race over.
Located right outside Exit 1 of Gardens by the Bay MRT Station, The F1 Exhibition is located in a new gigantic structure we can only describe as “cool-looking tents”. These tents would give you a sense of the scale of this exhibition.
Once you’re inside, you will be able to explore seven immersive rooms and zones, covering different aspects of F1. The first that stood out to us was Once Upon A Time In Formula 1, a gallery with displays, cars, and artefacts that will take you from the past to the present of the motorsport.
Get ready your cameras to snap many photos. Also, if you’re someone who loves to read about the ‘lore’ behind everything, this exhibition will be right up your alley. Almost every display and corner has interesting descriptions, facts, and footnotes for you to learn about how F1 developed into its current form.
For fans of the F1 movie, there is also one surprise waiting for you here. We will not spoil it for you, so keep your eyes peeled!
Two other rooms — Revolution By Design and Design Lab — take you into the inner workings of the F1 car, allowing you to dive deeper into each part. There are even interactive screens that let you take a closer look at steering wheels and how they have evolved.
In fact, these interactive screens are placed throughout the entire exhibition, letting you zoom in on specific cars and parts that you would otherwise never have the opportunity to.
One thing the exhibition does really well is utilising both digital and physical elements to immerse visitors in the world of F1. From actual tyres to engine parts to the iconic Red Bull RB7, you will have plenty to see and appreciate, especially if you are a fan.
After the cars, if you want to get closer to the drivers, you can too. You might not see Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton in person, but you can see the equipment that top drivers like them use on race days.
If you want to know more about some of your favourite drivers’ backgrounds, you might just find some tidbits here and there too. Spare some time for the Drivers & Duels room and get up close and personal with drivers’ helmets, suits, and more.
You can also activate your imagination and see yourself as a Formula 1 driver on an interactive screen. The onscreen avatar even responds to your movements, so come ready with your very own winning pose. Want to do something with a bit more creativity? Look for another interactive corner where you can design your own driver’s helmet!
The F1 Exhibition also has a zone exclusive to this Singapore edition. Singapore Drive takes you through the most significant moments and personalities in the history of the Singapore Grand Prix, from the first night race in 2008 to the latest.
Before you leave the exhibition, you can also drop by a dedicated merchandise store to purchase some souvenirs. Accessories, apparel, books, posters, and more — there’s a gift for every kind of F1 fan.
Last but not least, if you have minutes and dollars to spare, you should try out the Fastest Lap Simulator Experience. This was easily our favourite part of the entire exhibition, simply because you can get into the cockpit and feel what it’s like to race around the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
The graphics are realistic, and the controls are intuitive. If you have a need for speed, this is for you. Visitors with The F1 Exhibition: Pole Position (S$111) premium tickets will automatically have access to the Simulator Experience.
General Admission (from S$51 for adults) ticket holders have the option to add on access to the Simulator Experience for S$20. For ticket information and purchases, click here.
