Show Run Returns to Mexico City Grand Prix 2026, Featuring Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez
Mexico City, September 28, 2026 – The Show Run, a highly anticipated event preceding the Mexico City Grand Prix, is reportedly set to return to the capital for the 2026 edition, with Mexican Formula 1 driver Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez as the star attraction. The event, which has not taken place in Mexico City since 2021, is expected to be held on Paseo de la Reforma.
According to information from Excélsior, the Cadillac team, in collaboration with the Mexico City Government, is preparing to make a joint announcement with the organizers of the Grand Prix. This news comes just weeks before the official Grand Prix race.
Official Announcement Expected Soon
The organizers of the Mexico City Grand Prix have scheduled a press conference for October 5, where several announcements regarding the event are expected to be made. It is widely anticipated that the official return of the Show Run will be among these announcements, positioning it as one of the key official events leading up to the main race day.
The last time the Show Run was held in Mexico City was in 2021, when ‘Checo’ Pérez was part of the Red Bull Racing team. In 2022, a special edition of the event was held in Guadalajara, Pérez’s hometown, marking its absence from the capital for several years.
Pre-Race Activities and Schedule
The official announcement of the Show Run’s return is expected to be part of a series of pre-race activities involving all participating team drivers. These activities are likely to include conferences, brand activations, and autograph sessions held at various locations across the city, engaging fans and building excitement for the Grand Prix.
The Mexico City Grand Prix is officially scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Practice sessions and qualifying rounds are slated for October 30 and 31, leading up to the main race.
Impact and Significance of the Show Run’s Return
The return of the Show Run is significant for Formula 1 enthusiasts and the city alike. It provides a unique opportunity for fans to witness the power and speed of Formula 1 cars up close in an urban setting, outside of the traditional race track environment. For Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez, performing in front of his home crowd on Paseo de la Reforma would undoubtedly be a momentous occasion, further solidifying his connection with Mexican fans.
The collaboration between the Cadillac team and the Mexico City Government underscores the growing importance of the Mexico City Grand Prix on the international Formula 1 calendar. The event not only brings global attention to the city but also generates significant economic activity through tourism and related services.
The announcement on October 5 will be eagerly awaited by fans and stakeholders, as it will confirm the details of this exciting return and provide a clearer picture of the pre-race festivities planned for the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix.
