Hold onto your helmets, Melbourne! The F1® Exhibition has landed at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) — and it’s not your average museum stroll. This immersive celebration of Formula 1® history, present thrills, and future brilliance is now open daily from 9 am and running through until April 2026. 
Whether you’re a die-hard turbo-enthusiast, a casual fan of fast cars, or just in it for some cheeky selfie-ops in front of legendary racing hardware — this is your moment on the starting grid. Think of it as “Drive to Survive” meets interactive playground! 🏎️💥

From real tracks to racing too fast for your Instagram to keep up — here’s where you can race, drift, kart or power slide around town.
🏎️ Full-Thrill Race Experiences
Sandown International Motor Raceway – Legendary Melbourne track
This classic circuit is where champions have battled for decades and where you can actually live the dream. Hop into a V8 race car driving package and do laps on a real-deal race surface — choose options with 4, 6 or 8 laps and feel the adrenaline roar.
🎯 Pro Tip: Combine with a day at the F1 Exhibition and you’ll have gone from exhibits to adrenaline in minutes!
Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit – Where F1 comes to life
Ok, you don’t get free laps on the same tarmac the F1 cars race — but the F1 magic of Albert Park is unmistakable. Perfect for cheering on events or planning your own track-day dreams.
Calder Park Thunderdome – Home of drag & hoon culture
Vintage and quarter-mile drag events pop off here, and it’s a legendary spot for locals who like a straight-line blast. Think burnouts, drag finals and serious rubber smoke vibes.
🏁 Rally & Off-Road Fun
🚗 Rally School Melbourne – Take the rally car off-road, slide sideways and learn real rally techniques — an unforgettable way to get beyond the thrill of just watching.
🏜️ Melbourne Off Road Radio Car Club (MORRCC) – Not quite a race car, but if remote-control rocketing in competition is your jam, this cool club brings racing vibes to the dirt.
Bonus Motorsport Fun
After a full day on the tarmac at the F1 Exhibition or living out your own racing fantasy at Sandown International Motor Raceway, why let the adrenaline stop there? Melbourne is a city that understands indulgence — and nothing goes together like models and cars.
For those who appreciate beauty, elegance and high-octane chemistry, spending time with one of the stunning Paramour girls from Paramour is the perfect way to keep the engine running into the evening. Think luxury, sophistication and effortless glamour — the same qualities you admire in a finely tuned supercar.
