Mumbai Falcons Racing Limited will participate at C.O.R.E 2026 (Culture of Real Experiences), India’s largest pop culture festival, at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, on June 20 and 21, 2026.
The team will showcase the Tatuus T-318 Formula Regional car on Indian soil for the first time, alongside the live demonstration of the F1® Simulator rigs powering the F1® Sim Racing India Open, a media release said.
Kimi Antonelli, the youngest World Championship leader in Formula 1® history, drove the T-318 during his junior development years with Mumbai Falcons. Liam Lawson, Oliver Bearman, Franco Colapinto, Jack Doohan, Yuki Tsunoda and Guanyu Zhou also raced the same chassis on their journey to Formula 1®. Mumbai Falcons Racing has raced and developed drivers in the T-318 across the UAE and Europe.
Festival attendees can also experience the simulators and learn more about the F1® Sim Racing India Open 2026, India’s first nationally structured sim racing championship. Built around the Playseat Formula Intelligence F1 Edition cockpit and Fanatec’s ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 system with an 18 Nm direct-drive wheel base, the simulators are designed to replicate the driving position and feedback of a modern Formula race car. The setup also features load-cell brake pedals used to simulate professional racing techniques, delivering an immersive experience similar to those used by esports competitors and professional drivers for training and development.
The F1® Sim Racing India Open 2026 will span ten cities across India, with participants competing on professional-grade simulators across Formula 1® circuits.
