**Event Overview** Cityplaza has partnered with beIN SPORTS to present F1 RACE TO GLORY, bringing Formula 1 excitement to Hong Kong from August 14 through September 27 [1].

Four Grand Prix races will be shown: the Dutch, Italian, Spanish, and Azerbaijan GPs, allowing local F1 enthusiasts to experience the thrill of live motorsport action [1]. **Live Race Broadcasts and Commentary** The August 23 Dutch Grand Prix marks a special occasion with Now TV's senior commentator Daniel Chan (Chen Enneng) and Xing Anbang appearing in person to provide live, passionate commentary [1]. These veteran analysts will break down the race from professional perspectives, sharing the exciting moments that make Formula 1 so thrilling [1]. The venue also features a simulated podium where fans can experience what it feels like to stand atop a race winner's platform [1]. Nearby, a highly authentic replica of a driver's cooldown room (the space where drivers process their emotions before the podium ceremony) has been set up for photo opportunities [1]. **Six Interactive Racing Experiences** The event offers six engaging activities designed to test participants' reaction speeds and focus [1]. "Launch Moment" simulates the starting grid experience, challenging participants to release their steering wheel and press the start button the instant all signal lights go out, capturing the adrenaline-fueled moment before the race begins [1]. The "270-Degree Reaction Test" features an interactive装置 where participants must catch a magnetic rod as it falls, testing the concentration, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination essential to every racing driver [1]. beIN SPORTS has set up a dedicated F1 simulator that puts participants in the driver's seat for a first-person experience on the track [1]. Users can select their favorite circuits including Zandvoort (Dutch GP), Monza (Italian GP), and the Baku City Circuit (Azerbaijan GP) [1]. The "Tire Training" activity lets fans experience the daily life of pit crew members by pushing a wheel-loaded trolley to the finish line, challenging their physical strength and endurance [1]. **Red Bull Racing Experiences** On Cityplaza's ground floor, Oracle Red Bull Racing has installed the "Red Bull Pit Stop Challenge," where participants take on the role of Red Bull Racing pit crew members, racing to change tires weighing up to 20 kilograms [1]. The challenge includes a completion speed leaderboard for friends to compete against each other [1]. The grand finale is the "Red Bull Racing Champion's Route," a simulator experience where fans can replay the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit through the eyes of Max Verstappen, reliving his journey to become the youngest race winner [1]. **Exhibition and Memorabilia** After completing all six challenges, visitors can view the "Hall of Glory" showcasing memorabilia from both four-time world champions Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel [1]. The exhibit displays Red Bull Racing treasures including race-used suits, legendary racing shoes, and helmets from both drivers [1]. Signed racing suits from these champions are also available nearby for fans to admire [1].
