RACE TO GLORY at Cityplaza
Hong Kong gets its first large-scale Formula racing takeover — and Cityplaza is turning the mall into a race weekend. RACE TO GLORY, presented with beIN SPORTS and Now TV, mixes live Grand Prix broadcasts with driver-style challenges, F1 sims, and a Red Bull Racing zone you can walk straight into.
On 2/F Atrium, a podium-themed screen over three metres tall carries four live races: the Heineken Dutch Grand Prix, Pirelli Italian Grand Prix, Tag Heuer Spanish Grand Prix, and Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix. On 23 August, Now TV commentators Daniel Chan and Ying On-bong call the Dutch GP on site. A Cooldown Room nearby borrows the post-race vibe from finish line to celebration. Race schedules can shift — check official announcements closer to the day.
At 2/F Centre Bridge, the Training Grounds put you through Lights Out (start-grid reactions), a 270-degree baton reaction test, and a Tire Strength Challenge pushing a loaded cart. Finish the set and leave with a racing-themed sticker.
Then climb into a beIN SPORTS F1 simulator built for Hong Kong fans — rotate through Zandvoort, Monza, and Baku during the run. LIVE+ members who follow beIN SPORTS Hong Kong on Facebook and Instagram (@beinsports.hk) can redeem one sim session with 500 LIVE+ points (T&Cs apply).
Down on G/F near APITA, Oracle Red Bull Racing opens the garage side of the sport: a Pit Stop Challenge (change a tire as crew), the Champion's Route sim on Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya — where Max Verstappen became the youngest Grand Prix winner — and Hall of Glory with Max's 2026 race suit plus Sebastian Vettel's 2010 and 2013 suits on Hong Kong debut. LIVE+ members can book Red Bull slots via the TAIKOO+ app; same-day Red Bull drinks at Pacific Coffee Cityplaza or Peek-A-Poke Taikoo Shing can unlock a walk-in pit-stop session.
Racing merch from LEGO, eslite, Toys "R" Us and more fills out the weekend feel.
