Moët Hennessy and Formula 1® Unveil "The Out Lap": The World’s First Moving Fine Dining Experience on a Circuit
The intersection of luxury, high-end gastronomy, and elite motorsport has reached unprecedented heights. Moët Hennessy and Formula 1® have announced the official launch of The Out Lap, a groundbreaking hospitality concept that transforms a Grand Prix™ weekend into an immersive, moving culinary journey directly on the track.
Born from the historic ten-year global partnership between Moët Hennessy and Formula 1, this experience takes inspiration from one of motorsport's most symbolic rituals—the journey from the garage to the starting grid—and reinterprets it through fine dining, storytelling, and world-class craftsmanship.
What Is "The Out Lap"?
Unlike traditional luxury paddock lounges or static VIP suites, The Out Lap takes a select group of just twelve guests onto the circuit itself aboard a specially designed traveling dining room.
Navigating a bespoke route tailored around each specific Grand Prix™, the mobile dining room stops at the track's most legendary turns and sectors. The experience combines three core pillars:
-
Circuit Storytelling: At every iconic corner, a former Formula 1® driver shares personal memories and firsthand perspectives, bringing the history of the track to life.
-
Haute Cuisine in Motion: Each chapter of the circuit inspires an exclusive dish created by a world-leading chef, engineered specifically to be enjoyed while traveling on the track.
-
Exceptional Pairings: Every course is paired with prestige wines and spirits from Moët Hennessy’s world-renowned portfolio, including Maisons such as Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Belvedere Vodka, Glenmorangie, Whispering Angel, Volcan de mi Tierra, and French Bloom.
Because every circuit possesses its own history and layout, every edition of The Out Lap features a completely custom route, story structure, and culinary identity.
Inaugural Chapter: Spa-Francorchamps with Chef Yannick Alléno
The debut of The Out Lap will take place at the FORMULA 1 MOËT & CHANDON BELGIAN GRAND PRIX 2026 at the historic Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Renowned for legendary sections such as Eau Rouge, Raidillon, Pouhon, and La Source, the Belgian track serves as the inaugural stage for this concept.
For this milestone launch, Moët Hennessy has invited Yannick Alléno—the world’s most Michelin-starred chef and chef ambassador for Moët & Chandon—to craft the exclusive menu.
Following its premiere at Spa-Francorchamps, The Out Lap is scheduled to travel to three additional iconic European fixtures:
-
FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN DUTCH GRAND PRIX (Zandvoort)
-
FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA (Monza)
-
FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA (Madrid)
Redefining Motorsport Hospitality
By inviting guests onto the tarmac rather than keeping them behind the pit wall, Moët Hennessy and Formula 1 are shifting the paradigm of sports hospitality. A Grand Prix™ track is ordinarily reserved strictly for drivers, engineers, and race marshals; stepping onto the circuit while in motion provides an unprecedented perspective on the scale and heritage of the sport.
The concept reflects Moët Hennessy’s core philosophy: creating unforgettable moments where exceptional artisanal craftsmanship, world-class gastronomy, and human performance converge.
