LEGO F1 activation coming to SouthPark

A LEGO experience all about Formula 1 is coming to SouthPark's Symphony Park this week.

Why it matters: F1 is having a moment, from the sport itself to film and other offshoots, like arcades.

What to expect: The LEGO Formula 1 Off Track experience includes multiple play zones. There will be a life-size LEGO Formula 1 Red Bull brick-built car, plus:

🧱 A race lab where you can build and customize a mini-LEGO race car.

💨 A wind tunnel where you'll test your LEGO race car.

📸 Take a photo for your LEGO F1 driver's license.

🏎 Race your car on the LEGO Thrill City Circuit.

💪 Test your skills in the pit lane challenge.

If you go: The free experience runs July 11-13 from 10am-7pm at 4400 Sharon Road.

Pro tip: If you want to ride shotgun in a high-speed car, Charlotte Motor Speedway offers ride-along experiences year-round.
