Motorsport fever is taking over downtown Singapore as The LEGO Group launches LEGO F1 Experience the Thrill, a high-octane pop-up running from 1 to 18 October 2026 at the Suntec City Atrium (Towers 3 & 4).
Returning for its second consecutive year to celebrate Singapore’s race season, the free-admission event bridges the gap between world-class motorsport engineering and creative brick play. Visitors can expect massive builds, hands-on reaction trials, precinct-wide scavenger hunts, and the launch of new Formula 1 product lines.

-
Piece Count: Nearly 400,000 LEGO elements
-
Build Time: Exceeding 1,800 hours of precision craftsmanship
-

Test Your Reflexes: The LEGO F1 Race Pass Challenges
Guests can register for their personal LEGO F1 Race Pass to collect digital e-stamps across four themed pit-lane zones:

Gear-up Zone: Race against a 30-second countdown inside an engineering bay setup to correctly assemble a detailed F1 steering wheel.
-
The Sprint Zone: Test starting-grid reflexes. Watch the starting gantry light up and hit the trigger the instant the lights go out. The top three fastest participants on the leaderboard walk away with LEGO F1 sets.

Speed Zone: Hop into the virtual cockpit via an interactive touch-screen driving game to navigate track turns and bank a station stamp.

Victory Zone: Step onto the podium alongside life-sized LEGO F1 Minifigures for a winner's photo opportunity.

Precinct-Wide 3D Minifigure Hunt Across Suntec City
The action expands past the atrium into the wider Suntec City shopping precinct. Ten life-sized LEGO F1 Racer Minifigures and their technical crews have been placed at strategic checkpoints across the property.
Through the LEGO 3D Racer Minifigure Hunt, fans can track down all ten figures across the precinct to submit entries for event-exclusive LEGO prizes, turning standard retail footpaths into an open-air circuit.
