Audi with Nico Hülkenberg & Gabriel Bortoleto: The livery for the Singapore Grand Prix

On 5 October, the Audi Revolut F1 Team unveiled a special race car livery for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. The unveiling builds on ‘The Art of Influence’, a programme designed to bring Formula 1 closer to the public through experiences in Singapore and online.

Created by Audi for the team’s first night race in Formula 1, the Audi R26 design combines a unique interpretation of Singapore’s titanium silver-grey with a traditional Peranakan pattern. Fans can discover the livery via an online reveal on audif1.com, whilst the collection is now available at store.audif1.com.

Fans in Singapore and around the world can take part by unveiling the special design online and unlocking a digital team card via the team’s digital hub. Each unlocked card entitles the holder to one entry into a prize draw for a trip for one winner and a companion to attend the Las Vegas Grand Prix as VIP guests of the Audi Revolut F1 Team.

Inspired by the city’s lights, culture and communities, the activities form part of a wider programme for the race weekend, including a community run organised by adidas and World of Hyatt, an Audi and adidas pop-up at Funan Mall, and collaborations with Gelateria Birds of Paradise and Burnt Ends Bakery at the Audi House of Progress.

The design work is the latest element of the Audi Revolut F1 Team’s mission, which began in Melbourne in March, to work with our partners to bring Formula 1 closer to people beyond the racetrack and into our everyday lives.

Fans could hardly believe their eyes at what they witnessed at the Bahrain Grand Prix: cars crawling along, racing cars that simply came to a standstill. The FIA narrowly avoided a fiasco like the one at Indy in 2005.

Singapore’s transition from daylight to twilight and an illuminated night formed the starting point for Audi’s paint design. For the occasion, Audi developed a special shade of its titanium silver-grey, with a blue shimmer, inspired by the city’s lights and reflections. Under the floodlights of the circuit, the colour gains depth and changes its appearance as the R26 moves through its surroundings.

The traditional Peranakan pattern adds a cultural and graphic dimension. Applied to the rear wing and sidepods, it provides a visible reference to Singapore’s heritage whilst retaining the clean, geometric lines of the team’s established racing livery. Together, the colour and pattern translate influences from the host city into an Audi design for the night race. The same visual language extends to specially designed racing suits worn by Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto throughout the race weekend.

The new Audi RS 5 will also make its Asian debut in Singapore with a matching colour scheme. These design elements create a visual link between the R26 on the racetrack and the RS 5 on the road.
