Why Us
We don't just put a race on a screen. Every GP gets its own theme, dress code, décor and atmosphere. Monaco is black tie. Monza is Ferrari red. Vegas is sequins and excess.
Premium Cape Town venues only — announced as each event is confirmed. We don't do sports bars — we do experiences worth dressing up for.
We actually watch the sport. We know what DRS is, we have opinions about tyre strategy, and we'll argue about team radio decisions all night. Come find your people.
2026 Season · 22 Rounds
2026 Season
22 drivers. 11 teams. A 19-year-old leading the championship by 66 points. Five wins from six races. Spain is next. Here's everyone you need to know. Points reflect standings after Round 6, Monaco GP.
McLaren · P5
Defending world champion, currently off the pace in a McLaren that hasn't fully cracked the new regs. He'll be back — he always is.
McLaren · P6
Two-time champion who's quietly struggling in 2026 while McLaren figures out the car. Expect him to find form — the talent hasn't gone anywhere.
Ferrari · P4
44 points behind the leader after 5 races, but closing on Leclerc fast. The Ferrari-Hamilton story is still very much being written.
Ferrari · P3
P3 in the championship but the gap to Antonelli is already looking uncomfortable. Ferrari need to find something in the new regs — quickly.
Red Bull · P7
Four titles and 57+ wins but P7 after 5 races tells the story — Red Bull's 2026 car is genuinely poor. Max is still extracting more than it deserves.
Red Bull · P13
Promoted from Racing Bulls and handed a car that's been making everyone look bad. Give him time — the talent that earned him this seat is real.
Mercedes · P1 🏆
19 years old and leading the championship by 43 points after four consecutive wins. This is not a fluke. Antonelli is the real deal and 2026 might just be his year.
Mercedes · P2
P2 in the championship but being outscored by his 19-year-old teammate. This wasn't the script. Still fast, still consistent — but the pressure is mounting.
Williams · P14
Doing what he always does — extracting everything from a car that doesn't always deserve it. The most underappreciated driver on the grid, no debate.
Williams · P17
Left Ferrari, passed on Red Bull, chose Williams. A bold call that hasn't paid off yet — but Sainz has been in worse situations and come out swinging.
Aston Martin · P0
Zero points so far — Aston Martin's car is nowhere in the new regulations. But Alonso's been through worse. He'll be on the radio complaining either way.
Aston Martin · P0
Still waiting for Aston Martin to deliver a car that matches the ambition. Adrian Newey is in the building now — the question is how long it takes.
Alpine · P8
Best of the rest after the top teams — 20 points and Alpine's strongest performer so far. Gasly quietly gets on with it while everyone else makes noise.
Alpine · P11
Kept his full-time seat by beating Paul Aron to the Alpine contract. Charismatic, quick in bursts, and has a fanbase that would go to war for him.
Haas · P9
Left Alpine, joined Haas, immediately outscoring where he was. Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes. Quietly having a solid 2026.
Haas · P16
Stepped in for Sainz at Ferrari on zero notice in 2024 and scored points. That's not luck — that's composure. The future is bright, the present needs work.
Racing Bulls · P10
Sent back to Racing Bulls after struggling at the senior team. This is a redemption arc — Lawson is fast enough, and he knows it.
Racing Bulls · P12
The only rookie on the 2026 grid and the youngest. Already scoring points. The Red Bull pipeline keeps producing — this one looks genuinely special.
Audi · P15
238 starts and still no podium — not for lack of talent, just consistently terrible timing. At least he finally has a works manufacturer. Small victories.
Audi · P0
F2 champion who's been given a car that doesn't deserve him yet. Audi's project takes time — Bortoleto just has to survive the early chapters.
Cadillac · P0
Red Bull let him go, Cadillac gave him a lifeline. Zero points so far — the new American team is still finding its feet, and Checo is finding his.
Cadillac · P0
Back on the grid with Cadillac after Sauber/Audi moved on. No points yet but bringing the experience a new team genuinely needs to build around.
Our Story
Lights Out Collective was born from a simple idea — Formula 1 deserves to be experienced as the spectacle it truly is. Not on a couch, not at a sports bar, but in a room full of people who feel it the same way you do.
We bring the glamour, drama and intensity of each Grand Prix to Cape Town through premium themed screening events. Every race has a world built around it. Every event is a night you'll actually remember.
From the garden party energy of Silverstone to the black-tie glamour of Monaco — we build the world, you bring yourself.
What We Stand For
Every detail matters. From the décor to the dress code to the drink in your hand — we don't do average.
F1 fans are a different breed. We're building a home for Cape Town's collective — people who get it.
You're not just watching a race. The theme, the people, the energy — that's the product.
We love this sport. Genuinely. Every event is built by fans, for fans — and it shows.
