Meet F1 racers, try racing simulators & more at Grand Prix Season S'pore 2026 till Oct. 11 - Mothership

If you want in on the F1 action without being at the race.

Singapore is shifting into race mode once again, with Formula One’s race weekend from Oct. 9 to 11 just around the corner.

But all the F1 action isn’t confined to the Marina Bay street circuit.

With Grand Prix Season Singapore (GPSS), various establishments around Singapore are rolling out limited race-inspired dining, retail and interactive experiences from Oct. 2 to Oct. 11.

From now until Oct. 14, Ray-Ban, in collaboration with CQ @ Clarke Quay, will host a pop-up where visitors can get a glimpse of Scuderia Ferrari's 2023 F1 car.

Visitors can also unleash their inner F1 racer by trying the race simulators, doing the reflex test or the pit stop challenge.

Those who set a record time can get exclusive Scuderia Ferrari HP merchandise, while stocks last.

If you're a fan of driver Charles Leclerc, come down to the pop-up on Oct. 7, 2026, from 5pm, where he'll make a special appearance.

When: Till Oct. 14, 11am to 10pm. Closed from 2pm to 6:30pm on Oct. 7.

If you are up for a challenge, then you might want to visit Innerdrive, a free citywide experience that turns the science behind motorsport into tests of human performance.

At The Performance Circuit located in Plaza Singapura, visitors can try six race-inspired interactive challenges.

One challenge tests reflexes, where participants are required to press the lighted buttons as fast as possible.

At another station, participants will be timed as they attempt to change the tyres of a racing car.

After completing the circuit at both Plaza Singapura and Funan, visitors can redeem gifts, and F1 ticket holders can receive exclusive merch as well.

After trying all the activities, visitors can grab some drinks at the Pit Stop Bar.

Speciality drinks include Innerdrive Zero Octave (S$7.95), a refreshing mocktail made with Sprite and cranberry juice.

For something more crafty, Crafune at New Bahru lets visitors try their hand at leathercrafting.

In a cosy, wood-filled space lined with workbenches, participants can make their own wrist strap or lanyard at S$35 or S$45, respectively.

Participants can make their own F1-themed leather goods at Crafune, with free embossing.

When: Oct. 6 to Oct. 11, bookings available from 11am to 5pm

GPSS 2026 will take place from Oct. 2 to Oct. 11 at various locations across Singapore.
