The internationally celebrated Formula 1 Exhibition has opened its doors in Germany for the first time, bringing exciting racing history, unique F1 cars and exhibits, multimedia installations, interactive elements and plenty of adrenaline and drama to OBEX in Oberhausen.<\/p>\n
Set across an area of more than 3,000 square metres, it’s taken more than five years to develop the ground-breaking exhibition, which includes contributions from leading F1 teams and drivers from the past and present, as well as Formula 1 experts.<\/p>\n
With numerous exhibits and memorabilia, exclusive video and photo material that has never been seen before, spectacular audio and video design, expansive installations, insider facts and extraordinary objects, the Formula 1 Exhibition<\/a> provides a unique perspective on the exciting history of the sport.<\/p>\n Visitors are taken on a journey through the most legendary, formative and moving moments in F1 history, accompanied by an audio guide, with seven iconic racing cars from different eras just some of the many highlights \u2013 allowing guests to experience motorsport history and innovations in technology and design up close.<\/p>\n Among the cars on display are the Ferrari F1-2000, in which legendary German F1 champion Michael Schumacher<\/a> won the first of a total of five World Championship titles with Ferrari at the Japanese Grand Prix in 2000 \u2013 ending a 21-year drought for the legendary Italian team.<\/p>\n Other cars on display include the Mercedes W02 from 2011, also driven by Schumacher and his compatriot Nico Rosberg<\/a>, which helped lay the foundations for Mercedes-Benz’s historic dominance. From 2014 to 2021, the German brand won eight Constructors’ titles and seven Drivers’ titles.<\/p>\n Schumacher and Rosberg were the first German driver duo since 1955 in the \u2018Silver Arrows\u2019, and the famous and very rare Mercedes W154 is also on display in the exhibition.

The German Drive room celebrates this heritage by showcasing the greatest moments in Formula 1 on German racetracks \u2013 such as the Nordschleife, the N\u00fcrburgring and the Hockenheimring \u2013 or by German drivers, as well as special memorabilia and exclusive content.<\/p>\n
