Vienna to to host second Formula 1 Exhibition

Vienna is set to host The Formula 1 Exhibition, with the innovative show set to open on the 2nd February 2024, running until late spring, at the METAStadt Vienna.

Madrid staged the first ever F1 Exhibition last year that became the country’s biggest temporary show in 2023. The exhibition was so popular that it was extended through August. The Formula 1 Exhibition will now head to the Austrian capital with the Vienna with six specially designed rooms set to play host to the exhibition.

The exhibition will start with the room that is referred to as ‘Once Upon A Time In Formula 1. It features previously-unseen photographs that transport fans through the sport’s most iconic and defining moments. The next room, named ‘Drivers and Duels’ then celebrates the most iconic drivers and legendary races since Formula 1 began, before ‘Revolution By Design’ presents the breakthrough innovations in the sport and explores the new technologies that lie ahead.

‘The Design Lab’ takes visitors inside an F1 factory, before entering ‘Survival’, where the remains of Romain Grosjean’s burnt out HAAS race car from his dramatic 2020 crash in Bahrain serves as a homage to safety innovations in the sport. The show then reaches its finale in ‘The Pit Wall’ - a show-stopping cinematic and immersive experience that allows fans to relive the greatest moments in Formula 1 history like never before.

Commenting on the announcement, F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali, President said: “Following the success of our first Formula 1 Exhibition in Madrid, we are incredibly excited to announce Vienna as the second host of the innovative show. Austria has a great history with Formula 1, so we are delighted to take this spectacle to the capital and provide fans in the country with another way of interacting and enjoying the sport’s rich history and heritage.”

Lead Curator and Producer of The Formula 1 Exhibition, Timothy Harvey commented: “We were thrilled and gratified by the level of success the exhibition received in Madrid. The ambition has always been to bring this one-of-a-kind show to as many people as possible, and so we’re excited to announce the next stop will be the dynamic city of Vienna. The Vienna exhibition will feature new displays and experiences for visitors.”
