From a Formula 1 car built with nearly 400,000 LEGO bricks to racing challenges and exclusive collectibles, LEGO is bringing the excitement of the Singapore Grand Prix beyond the circuit.
Formula 1 fever has returned to Singapore, and this time, the action is not confined to Marina Bay.
The LEGO Group is celebrating the 2026 Formula 1 season with its LEGO F1 Experience the Thrill event at Suntec City, running from 1 to 18 October. The attraction combines motorsport, engineering and creativity, giving visitors a chance to experience the excitement of racing without having to squeeze into an actual Formula 1 cockpit.
And unlike the real thing, visitors are encouraged to get their hands involved.
Taking centre stage at Suntec City Atrium, between Towers 3 and 4, is a life-sized Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula 1 car constructed entirely from LEGO bricks.
Built using nearly 400,000 individual elements and requiring more than 1,800 hours of craftsmanship, the creation showcases the extraordinary detail that can be achieved with what are essentially small pieces of plastic.
Beyond admiring the car, visitors can participate in four interactive challenges designed around different aspects of Formula 1.
These include assembling a LEGO steering wheel within 30 seconds, testing reaction times against racing lights, tackling a virtual driving challenge and celebrating on a LEGO-themed podium.
Complete three of the four activities, and participants can redeem a LEGO steering wheel and a voucher or eligible in-store redemption, subject to availability.
The experience extends beyond the main atrium, with 10 life-sized LEGO Formula 1 Racer Minifigures stationed around the Suntec City precinct.
Representing teams including Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Audi and Red Bull Racing, these oversized characters form part of an interactive treasure hunt.
Visitors who locate the figures and scan the designated QR codes across four locations can enter a lucky draw, with three winners receiving a LEGO City F1 Display Truck with Audi F1 Race Car set.
For those who prefer building rather than racing, LEGO has also introduced new Formula 1-themed sets for 2026.
Highlights include the LEGO Technic McLaren MCL39 and Aston Martin AMR25, alongside a LEGO Icons Ferrari F2004 celebrating Michael Schumacher’s championship-winning machine.
Collectors can also look forward to brick-built helmets inspired by Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Ayrton Senna.
Participating LEGO Certified Stores will offer additional activities and promotions, including selected discounts, exclusive gifts and hands-on building experiences.
“Formula 1 is about more than speed. It brings together the excitement of competition, the passion of its fans and the ingenuity of engineering,” said Nina Patricia Da Costa, General Manager for Singapore, Malaysia and Travel Retail APAC at the LEGO Group.
“Through our collaboration with F1, we’re bringing that world to life in a uniquely LEGO way – translating the speed, engineering and excitement of the sport into bricks, creativity and play.”
With Singapore’s racing season in full swing, LEGO’s latest attraction offers families and motorsport enthusiasts another way to enjoy the spectacle.
