TGR Haas F1 Team and Apple TV to Celebrate United States Grand Prix with Special Livery Reveal and Fan Event

TGR Haas F1 Team is delighted to announce an exclusive fan event in Austin ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, offering fans the opportunity to experience the team’s special Godzilla-themed race livery in person for the first time.

The event, taking place on Thursday, October 22 on the Domain NORTHSIDE Shopping Plaza Lawn, brings the excitement of the United States Grand Prix directly to fans in Austin.

The special livery celebrates the second collaboration between TGR Haas F1 Team and TOHO CO., LTD., this time bringing the iconic ‘King of the Monsters’ to the United States Grand Prix. The design will transform the team’s VF-26 challenger into a distinctive celebration of two global sporting and entertainment brands combining forces.

Joining fans at the event will be Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of TGR Haas F1 Team, drivers Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman, Official Reserve driver Jack Doohan, and F1 Academy driver Kaylee Countryman. Bearman will also reveal his custom helmet created specifically for the United States Grand Prix.

“I think it’s great when the Formula 1 ecosystem works together to be able to reach more audiences and tell the story of our team and sport,” said Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of TGR Haas F1 Team. “The United States Grand Prix is an important weekend for our team, and being able to bring this special livery to life in Austin, together with our partners and fans, makes it even more meaningful.”

Throughout the day, Apple Domain NORTHSIDE will host ‘Today at Apple’ sessions inspired by the TGR Haas F1 Team – capturing portraits of official driver suits and helmets on iPhone 18 Pro, or design custom car liveries on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil Pro.
