Revealing a race car online now counts as a raffle ticket. Audi Revolut F1 Team unveiled its one-off Audi R26 Singapore livery on 5 October 2026, and every fan who uncovers it on the team’s digital hub unlocks a team card that enters them to win a VIP trip for two to the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
For readers here, the bigger draw is the car itself, which wears a Traditional Peranakan Pattern in blue and white for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix (GP), the team’s first Formula 1 (F1) night race. An exclusive adidas capsule collection carrying the same Singapore-inspired look is on sale now too.
A Silver Built for Floodlights
Audi says the design started with how Singapore’s light changes across an evening, from daylight to twilight to a fully lit night. The brand developed a distinct shade from its Titanium Silver Grey for the occasion, adding a blue shimmer inspired by the city’s lights and reflections. According to the team, the colour gains depth under the circuit’s floodlights and changes in appearance as the car moves through its surroundings.
That’s a subtler move than it sounds. The R26 launched in Berlin in January 2026 in Titanium silver with exposed carbon-fibre sections and sharp Lava Red accents, so the Singapore car is the same idea tilted towards blue. An earlier one-off this season went all the way to yellow, the colour tied to pre-war racing driver Tazio Nuvolari. Singapore’s version is quieter, and it suits a race run entirely after dark!
The pattern is where the car becomes Singapore’s. It sits on the rear wing and sidepods, and Audi kept the straight geometric cuts of its regular race livery, so the heritage reference reads as a layer on a familiar shape.
Peranakan, by Way of Audi
Peranakan culture has its roots in Southeast Asia, and its visual language keeps finding new canvases, as the Peranakan Museum’s batik weekend showed last year. Audi designed this livery itself and calls the motif simply a Traditional Peranakan Pattern. Treat it as the brand’s own reading of that heritage, not a copy of any single tile or textile.
The same visual language runs onto the race suits that drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto wear throughout the race weekend. It reaches the road as well, because Audi says the new RS 5 makes its Asian premiere in Singapore with a corresponding colour treatment.
Stefano Battiston, the team’s Chief Brand and Commercial Officer, described the livery as “a design shaped by the city”, and framed the whole effort as “one connected idea” that carries on beyond the race car. The follow-through is what makes that more than a slogan, since the pattern turns up on things fans can wear.
The adidas Capsule, Piece by Piece
Official Team Partner adidas turned the Singapore identity into four items: the official cap the two drivers wear during the Grand Prix weekend, a graphic T-shirt, a sweatshirt, and special edition Adilette comfort slides. The team’s collection page highlights a guardian-lion graphic inspired by temple and pagoda entrances. The capsule is limited-edition and available now on the Audi Revolut F1 Team online store, with checkout through Revolut Pay.
City-themed race capsules are becoming an adidas habit. The brand and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team launched the Vanda Bloom Collection, inspired by Singapore’s national flower. Elsewhere, see this year’s off-track Singapore GP guide. Audi’s capsule is the leaner of the two, and the cap is the pick, because it’s the exact one on the drivers’ heads. The slides come second for anyone who wants race merch that survives past Sunday.
How the Vegas Draw Works
The mechanic is simple: reveal the livery online, unlock a digital team card, and that card is one entry. Cards are collected through the team’s digital hub, with each unlocked card giving one entry.
The team’s promotion page lists the prize as a trip for one winner and a guest, plus an exclusive garage tour, flights, accommodation, airport transfers, and a merchandise pack. The draw happens after the Singapore Grand Prix. Entry is open to adults with an AUDI ID account who live in a country or state where the promotion and prize are legal, so read the terms before collecting cards.
Around Town Until 11 October
The livery is one part of “The Art of Influence”, the team’s programme of activities across Singapore. Two food tie-ups have been running since Saturday, 3 October: a Burnt Ends Bakery collaboration at the Audi House of Progress, and an exclusive “GABICO” gelato at Birds of Paradise, inspired by the two drivers. The gelato is the easiest one to say yes to!
From Thursday, 8 October, Paulaner Brewery hosts public race viewing with dedicated broadcasts, limited-edition merchandise, and its own digital badge. An Audi and adidas pop-up is at Funan Mall. The 4km adidas Community Run on Sunday, 11 October, passes the R26 show car there too. Head of Race Strategy Rithvik Dhananjay has also curated a Singapore Food Guide, drawing on his family connection to the city.
