The countdown is officially on, with the F1 Singapore Grand Prix just around the corner and race-week excitement already revving up. And just 2 days before the race kicks off on 9th October 2026, F1 fans can catch Charles Leclerc in Singapore.
The Ferrari driver will be making a special appearance at Ray-Ban’s Beyond The Track pop-up at Clarke Quay on 7th October 2026, as part of the brand’s partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP. There’ll also be racing simulators for you to channel your inner F1 driver, among other activities at the pop-up. Here’s everything you need to know before you chiong down.

Running from 1st to 14th October 2026, Ray-Ban’s Beyond The Track pop-up is a 2-week F1-themed experience that brings together the brand’s design heritage and its partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP.
Pop by to check out the Ray-Ban for Scuderia Ferrari collection, including 2 limited-edition eyewear pieces: the Flax Fiber Limited Edition and the Singapore Special Edition. The latter takes inspiration from our very own night race.
Both styles have been spotted on the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. If you do decide to cop a pair, you can officially say you’re rocking the same shades as the F1 stars.

Besides catching Charles Leclerc, the pop-up also has a lineup of activities that let fans get a taste of the motorsports world.
You’ll get to see the Scuderia Ferrari SF-23 Show Car in person, then put your racing skills to the test with 2 racing simulators that let you virtually speed around the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

There’s also a reflex test to see how quickly you can react, plus a pit stop challenge where you’ll have to complete a tyre change in the fastest time possible.
Beat the record, and you could walk away with exclusive Scuderia Ferrari HP merchandise, while stocks last. All participants will also receive a voucher that can be redeemed at the pop-up, so there’s something to take home even if your pit stop skills are questionable.
