It took more about seven years to put an exhibition like that into practice. It implied a lot of effort and dedication but, in 2023, the world’s first official Formula 1® exhibition was finally opened at IFEMA Madrid, Spain. It combines spectacular audio-visual design, rare film and imagery, engineering and educational displays, sculptural pieces and iconic Grand Prix™ cars for an unforgettable experience. The world’s first official Formula 1® exhibition has opened in Madrid, Spanin, and this is all you need to know about it.
