The Grand Prix Singapore Season 2022 is in town and that means plenty of car-themed events, one of which is the LEGO Technic McLaren Formula 1 Pop-Up Experience at Ngee Ann Civic Plaza, from 23 September to 2 October 2022.
LEGO Replica of a McLaren Formula 1 Race Car
The highlight of the LEGO Technic McLaren Formula 1 Pop-Up Experience is a LEGO replica of a McLaren Formula 1 race car. Made from 288,315 LEGO bricks, the model is 5.7 metres in length and 2.7 metres wide. It even has details such as a removable halo and steering wheel.
What’s more, visitor will also have the unique opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat for a photo. [Edit: we found out that visitors are no longer able to sit inside as there was some breakage over the weekend. Oops.]

Singapore is the LEGO car’s first stop in in Southeast Asia.
