BWT Alpine Formula One Team is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to one lucky fan, who will get to attend a Formula One race of their choosing in 2026.

A number of fans have already entered this incredible competition for the chance to win a Golden Ticket. The winner will enjoy a full Formula One experience in style, with travel included for themselves and their guest.

If you had the chance to go to any race next year, where would it be? Would you choose one of the most iconic races in the world, the famous harbour-side Monaco Grand Prix? Or would you head to the floodlit streets of Singapore, F1’s original night race? Perhaps you’d pick one of the three races in the United States.

Given the choices, would it be Miami’s beaches in South Florida, the state capital of Texas in Austin, or the neon lights of Las Vegas? You might even prefer one of the sport’s historic shrines — Zandvoort, Monza, Spa — or choose to start the season in style with a trip Down Under to Melbourne.

The competition is now open, and you have until 23:59 GMT on Wednesday 14 January 2026 to take part. Already, fans have been sharing the races they’d love to attend, who they would take with them, and the reasons why.

A city of dreams — a trip to F1’s original night race

Sherine, from France, says she would take her sister to the Lion City — Singapore — where it would be a dream come true if she could meet Pierre Gasly. It was her sister who ignited her passion for Formula One, and she hopes this would be the perfect way to return the favour.

“My sister paid for me to attend my very first Grand Prix in Monza and she also pays my F1 TV subscription so I can watch all the races. She made me fall in love with Formula 1 and she’s the person who means the most to me. If I ever got the chance to win the Golden Ticket, she’s the one who truly deserves to come with me.

“I chose the Singapore Grand Prix as my preferred race because, for me, it’s the toughest race of the season, with the heat, the humidity, and the way the drivers have to manage their brakes and tyres. It’s a race full of surprises; that’s what makes it so special. It’s also my sister’s dream destination, so it would be perfect for both of us. I get to live my passion and she gets to visit the city of her dreams. My sister is my best friend and she always will be. That’s why I chose this race and she would be my guest.”

A new destination for F1

Next year, Formula One will race on a brand-new street circuit in the heart of the Spanish capital, Madrid. Scheduled for mid-September, the new 22-turn, 5.4km Madring layout will become the new home of the Spanish Grand Prix.

For Rosi, who lives in Mexico, it would be the perfect excuse to return to the place she fell in love with as a student. And she would take her sister with her if she won the Golden Ticket.

“Two years ago I was an exchange student in Madrid and I fell in love with the city, the culture and the people. I’ve been nostalgic about the place since I left and I’d love for a chance to return to this amazing city and to sample some croquetas and tintos de verano while spectating at this race. The fact that a new circuit is being built is like a dream come true for me and I would love to experience my favourite sport in my favourite city.”

The most iconic venue on the calendar

For many, if they could attend just one Grand Prix, it would be Monaco. Having hosted races since the 1920s, this round-the-houses street race is arguably the sport’s most glamorous setting. Nowhere else lets you get quite so close to the cars. Precious Allison, from the Philippines, has always dreamt of visiting the famous Principality.

“Monaco represents everything we have always admired about Formula 1: precision, courage, and timeless beauty. It is a race that reminds us why my best friend and I fell in love with the sport in the first place.

“My friend and I have often said that one day, we would stand there together, not just as spectators but as dreamers finally living what we have always imagined. To see the cars glide past the harbour, the sunlight glinting off the sea, and to feel the heartbeat of Monaco beneath our feet would mean more than just completing a bucket-list dream. It would be proof that shared dreams, no matter how impossible they seem, can come true.

“The moment the lights go out and the engines roar to life, I will turn to my friend, and in that instant, we would both know what this means: that all those late-night races, getting lost in the strategy, feeling the rush of every overtake, the laughter, and all the shared hope led us here. The world would blur for a second, and only the sound of Formula 1 would remain. That feeling — that realisation that we made it together — would stay with me for the rest of my life.”

The European heartland

While Formula 1 spans the globe — from Interlagos in Brazil, to Montreal in Canada, from Japan’s iconic Suzuka to the new venues in the Middle East — some fans still dream of experiencing the sport in its European heartland, surrounded by legendary corners that have shaped its history. Tom, from Belgium, says his home race at Spa is his all-time favourite venue.

“When I first visited Spa a very long time ago, we entered at the entrance close to Raidillon and watching the cars climb upwards over Eau Rouge and into the woods was simply breathtaking. I’ve returned many times since then: during the Renault days with the kids, seeing F1 practice sessions in the pouring rain and then races in the sun. I’ve even driven the majestic old 15km layout during the centenary of the circuit.

“On each occasion, my partner was there with me. I don’t think she shares my craziness for this piece of asphalt in the Ardennes forest, but nevertheless, it wouldn’t be the same without her.”

Ton, also from Belgium, has long wanted to visit Zandvoort, a dream he had hoped to share with his father when the Dutch Grand Prix returned to the calendar in 2021. Sadly, health issues meant they were never able to make the trip together. If he were to win the Golden Ticket, he would go to Zandvoort with his partner Britt, before the race potentially falls off the calendar.

“My father gave me a book about the history of the race, along with a promise that one day, we would go there together. Instead we watched every lap, side-by-side, on television. If I was able to go, thanks to BWT Alpine Formula One Team, it would be the fulfilment of a long-held dream. I would walk through the paddock, on those historic Dutch dunes, and feel the rumble of the cars echo through my chest — it would be pure magic.”
