Heineken 0.0 is transforming Formula 1® fandom in India into friendship through its Ultimate Race Fans Mixers. With actor Arjun Kapoor joining fans in Mumbai, the initiative spans multiple cities, culminating in a Bengaluru finale. The mixers blend live screenings, games and social experiences, proving passion for sport can spark lasting connections.
Formula 1 has long been synonymous with speed, adrenaline and fierce competition, but in India it is increasingly becoming a platform for connection. Heineken 0.0 is tapping into this cultural shift with its Ultimate Race Fans Mixers, a series of social experiences designed to turn fandom into friendship.
On 26 September, fans across Mumbai, Gurgaon and Kolkata will gather to watch the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2026 live, while engaging in interactive games, prediction challenges and fan activities. Each event is expected to attract around 250 enthusiasts, creating vibrant spaces where strangers can connect over their shared passion for the sport. Actor Arjun Kapoor will join fans at the Mumbai edition, adding star power to the celebration.
The mixers will be hosted at Ajmera IndiKarting in Mumbai, Five Mad Men in Kolkata and Underdoggs Arena in Gurugram. These venues will serve as hubs of energy, bringing together diverse groups of fans united by their love for Formula 1. Vikram Bahl, Chief Marketing Officer of United Breweries Limited, explained the vision: “Formula 1 has the power to bring together people who may have never met but share the same passion. With Ultimate Race Fans Mixers, we want to take that connection beyond the screen and create opportunities for fans to interact through the excitement of race day.”
Heineken 0.0’s initiative underscores the brand’s belief that great experiences become more memorable when they open doors to new friendships. By blending live race screenings with social mixer formats, the campaign is redefining how fans experience Formula 1 in India—not just as spectators, but as part of a community.
The journey will culminate in Bengaluru on 18 October with a grand finale featuring a special appearance by a globally renowned Formula 1 driver. Details of the venue and event will be announced closer to the date, but the finale promises to be the highlight of Heineken 0.0’s fan engagement season.
Through the Ultimate Race Fans Mixers, Heineken 0.0 is demonstrating how shared passions can transcend competition, turning the thrill of Formula 1® into a catalyst for human connection. For fans across India, the mixers are more than just race-day gatherings—they are proof that some of life’s best experiences begin with a common interest and a simple conversation.
