Formula 1 Gundam Collab Brings Aerial Livery And A 10 Foot Scuderia AlphaTauri Gundam

Formula 1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri has announced a collab with Mobile Suit Gundam, bringing a giant robot twist to the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

At the Formula 1 Las Vegas GP on November 19th, fans will be able to see a celebration of Mobile Suit Gundam- as Scuderia AlphaTauri’s two cars sport livery based on the RX 78-2 Gundam as well as the Arerial Gundam from The Witch From Mercury.

The liveries themselves have not yet been shown off, so fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the mecha-themed cars hit the track.

In addition, the race will sport another installation- a 10-foot tall statue of the RX 78-2 Gundam, all decked out in Scuderia AlphaTauri’s colors.

“One of the longest running Sci-Fi franchises in the world, Gundam has always been able to connect with fans all around the globe with its featured themes of heroism, standing up to adversity, and overcoming tremendous odds, mirroring in fiction the real-life challenges F1 drivers face each and every race,” said Karim Farghaly, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “We partnered with Scuderia AlphaTauri because of their vision and cooperation to help bring Gundam to the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix, in a way that will be memorable and meaningful to both F1 fans and Gundam fans alike.”

“Gundam is a globally recognized and beloved media franchise with passionate fans in every corner of the world. We immediately embraced the Gundam spirit and are delighted to welcome them as a partner of Scuderia AlphaTauri for the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix,” said Fabian Wrabetz, Director of Marketing and Communication at Scuderia AlphaTauri. “This will be a collaboration to remember with multiple on and off-track activations that will push the limits of fan engagement in a fun and exciting way.”
