Orchard Road is getting a dose of race-weekend adrenaline. From October 8 to 10, Orchard Paddock Grand Prix Season Singapore 2026 will take over Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza. Mark your calendars as the shopping belt is transformed into a race-inspired playground from 4pm to midnight. 

Organised by Invade, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board and presented by Dongfeng, the three-night event brings the energy of race season beyond the circuit and right into the heart of Orchard. Time to rally the crew, here’s what to check out.

Try go-karts, racing sims, Hot Wheels and off-track games

There’s plenty to keep your competitive streak busy. Get up close to the 2026 Corvette Stingray, then head for Dorifto! SG’s go-karts if you’re keen to satisfy your need for speed. Each session runs for four minutes, and the first 30 riders daily can redeem a free session.

For those who’d prefer a simulator, SIMFAI Solutions will be running Open Track Day, where visitors can try a complimentary first round of five laps, or take on the paid Time Attack Challenge and attempt to complete five laps within five minutes.

You can also hit the Dongfeng Photo Garage for a race-day GIF photobooth moment, take on Dongfeng Pack & Go by racing to pack items into a car boot before time runs out, or swing by the Hot Wheels booth for exclusive products, collectibles and a track experience where fans can pick a car and race it to the finish.

There’s more off-track action too, including a life-sized UNO Elite F1 card photobooth, Turbo Play! Arcade, Neon Chess by Aliwal Chess Club, and Beat the Street Chess Hustler, where visitors can challenge street chess players to a one-minute bullet game. On October 8, catch live performances by YAØ, Alyph, 53A, Reverie and Dreamsound, plus movie screenings including The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. On October 9 and 10, the stage shifts into games and giveaways.

All that racing, posing, gaming and stamp collecting calls for fuel. The Refuel Station brings together food and drinks to keep visitors going through the evening, with bites from Sake Inn, SOHTT, OMD by BTHL and American Pit Stop, an exclusive gastronomic collaboration by the U.S. Embassy featuring specially curated menu selections.

Expect everything from sushi tacos to smash burgers and more – handy whether you’re making a proper night of it or just need a pit stop before getting back to the action. So, head to Orchard Paddock this GPSS weekend and check out the full event details here.
