Motorsport fans across the UK will have the chance to get up close with an Audi Formula 1 car this month as its naming partner, Revolut, launches a 14-city nationwide tour ahead of the team's first appearance at Silverstone.

The tour, which began at London's Canary Wharf on 9 June, will span cities across England, Scotland and Wales, giving fans a rare opportunity to see the team's F1 show car in person.

Those who go along can also take part in interactive games with the chance to win exclusive merchandise. Revolut customers, as well as those who sign up during the events, will be entered into a draw to win tickets to Silverstone.

For each day of the tour stop, Revolut will give away a pair of 3-Day grandstand tickets to the 2026 British Grand Prix. However, one extra lucky winner will be drawn at the end of the tour to take part in the Ultimate Silverstone Experience. The VIP package for two includes a driver meet-and-greet, motorhome lunch, team kit, pit stop practice, and strategist meeting. 

The tour comes off the back of new research commissioned by Revolut that highlights the growing popularity of motorsport across Britain. Nearly half of UK adults surveyed said they followed the 2025 F1 season, while more than a quarter reported waking up early or staying up late to watch international races live.

Despite this, the research found that attending races remains challenging for many fans. Ticket prices, travel and accommodation costs were cited as key barriers, while some respondents said major racetracks were simply too far from where they live.

By taking the Audi car directly to city centres around the country, Revolut hopes to make the sport more accessible to fans who otherwise may never have had the opportunity to experience F1 up close.

Emily Lewis, Head of Growth for UK, Ireland and Nordics at Revolut, said the tour reflects both the company's commitment to its customers and the growing appetite for motorsport in Britain.

"The UK's passion for motorsport is deep-rooted, from fans in Manchester setting 5.30am alarms to Birmingham investing heavily in race days," she said. "With this tour, we're bringing that same philosophy to motorsport – giving fans the chance to see the Audi Revolut F1 Team R26 up close, completely free, with exclusive perks for Revolut customers."
