PITLANE24 F1 Advent Calendar 2026

Five red lights, then lights out. This calendar is built around that moment: a black box shows a Formula 1 car from behind under the glow of start lights, with PITLANE24 in bold white and red and chequered racing accents. The designs inside cover the whole world of a grand prix weekend.

The box with racing designs lined up in front.

A Sport in a New Era

2026 is one of the biggest years in Formula 1’s modern history. New regulations brought new power units with a far larger share of electric power, smaller and lighter cars and active aerodynamics, effectively resetting the competitive order. Audi entered as a works team, and Cadillac joined the grid as the sport’s eleventh team. For fans, it means new rivalries, new liveries and plenty to talk about over the holidays.

The calendar captures the culture around all of that: the helmets, the steering wheels, the podium celebrations and the champagne.

What Waits Behind the Windows

The 24 designs include race cars, driver helmets, a steering wheel, tyres, a trophy, chequered flags, start lights, a pit board, a circuit map and a podium. Each piece is flat acrylic printed on both sides. The numbered photo shows the whole set at once, not the order behind each window.

A Gift for Race Weekends

It suits a fan who sets alarms for overnight races, a sim racer with a cockpit at home, or a family that watches every grand prix together. The pieces look great hanging on the tree or lined up like a grid on a shelf.

Calendar Questions

Is it themed on a single team?

No. The designs cover Formula 1 as a whole: cars, helmets and race-day icons.

Can I display the pieces after December?

Yes. The stand-base format works year-round on a desk or shelf.

When should I give it?

Before December 1, so the countdown can start on day one.
