As Singapore slips into Grand Prix Season, ION Orchard turns itself into a motorsport-infused stage running alongside its Autumn/Winter theme.
“This Autumn/Winter season, ION Orchard comes alive with the glamour and excitement of the Singapore Grand Prix… we’re thrilled to present curated exclusive experiences, exciting new brand debuts, and a Race Village that celebrates the very best of speed, innovation, and style,” shares Ms Yeo Mui Hong, CEO of Orchard Turn Developments.
The Race Village, Reimagined (22 Sept – 12 Oct)
Four headline activations bring Formula 1 energy indoors, without the earplugs:
- TAG Heuer (L1 Atrium, 25 Sept–6 Oct) — The Official Timekeeper returns with the Tone of Victory experience, heritage timepieces, and a photo moment with the Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 Team Show Car.
- LEGO “Experience the Thrill” (ION², 25 Sept–12 Oct) — Pedal Power VR Racing for the speed demons; Rapid Repair tyre-change challenges for the pit-crew curious. Conquer all stations and drive off with a mini LEGO F1 race car.
- Inside the Garage: Presented by VISA, TUDOR & HUGO (B4 ION Station, 25 Sept–5 Oct) — Step into the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Team world: show car, race gear, interactive challenges, exclusive merch, and a chance to meet a team driver on 1 Oct.
- ELEMIS Formula-Powered Pop-up (ION², 30 Sept–7 Oct) — A skincare pit stop: snap with the ELEMIS car, sample limited ELEMIS × Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team sets, and you could win a year’s supply.
Quick Wins: How to Unlock the Lifestyle Pack
From 22 Sept to 12 Oct, flash a little race spirit and redeem an exclusive Lifestyle Pack with 30+ privileges at the Concierge (B1 or L4). Qualify by doing any of these: wear your favourite team jersey, show your Singapore Grand Prix ticket stub, or post a snapshot of ION’s race experiences.
