Formula 1 is back for another adrenaline-pumping season, and for fans in the Philippines, the excitement isn't just on screen but also in stores. This year, the Lego Group is bringing the high-speed action of F1 back to the Philippines with a weekend of hands-on F1 fun at the Lego Certified Store (LCS) in Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
This is your chance to build, play, and race some of the most legendary F1-inspired Lego sets as the motorsport world celebrates its 75th season. Whether you're a racing fan, a Lego collector, or just love a good speed challenge, Build the Thrill: Pick, Build, Race gives you the ultimate hands-on experience — no pit stop required. Plus, there’s no purchase necessary to join the fun. Simply pick from the box, build your car, and see how fast you can race it.
And if you’ve ever dreamed of owning an F1 car, this is as close as it gets. Filipino fans can now bring home iconic sets – from the Ferrari SF-24 to the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 set – all without the million-peso price tag.
The ultimate race at Ayala Malls Manila Bay
The high-speed action continues at the Lego Certified Store in Ayala Malls Manila Bay, with special events happening all month until April 30. Mark your calendars for these weekend highlights:
