Ferrari fans are being offered a rare opportunity to meet Charles Leclerc in person through a new Chivas Regal contest linked to the launch of the brand’s limited-edition Chivas Regal 16. Five winners will each receive two invitations to a special event on 1 September 2026, allowing them to bring one adult guest.
Entry is free and open exclusively to adults, but securing one of the places will require more than simply registering for a random prize draw. Applicants must submit their personal and contact information, provide a social media profile and answer a contest question with a response intended to demonstrate an authentic, personal and original motivation.
How to enter the Charles Leclerc Chivas Regal contest
Applications can be submitted until 11:59 pm CET on 20 August 2026, with the stated time zone corresponding to UTC+1. Once the entry period closes, representatives from Chivas Regal and Forbes Italy will form the jury responsible for evaluating the submissions.
Rather than choosing the winners at random, the panel will assess the responses and select the five it considers most meaningful. Each successful entrant will then receive two tickets for the event on 1 September, creating a total of ten available places once the five accompanying guests are included.
The contest adds another fan-focused element to Leclerc’s partnership with the whisky brand. The Ferrari driver has served as a Chivas Regal brand ambassador, with the collaboration extending beyond conventional sponsorship into dedicated products and promotional events.
Winners will meet Charles Leclerc at the September 1 event
For the five successful fans, the main prize is the opportunity to attend the Chivas Regal 16 launch and meet Charles Leclerc in person. Each winner may bring one companion, although that guest must also be an adult.
There is an important practical condition for anyone considering entering. Travel and accommodation are not included as part of the prize, meaning the winners and their guests will have to arrange and pay for their own journey and stay while reaching the event location independently.
The gathering will centre on the launch of Chivas Regal 16, the limited edition developed through the collaboration with the Monegasque Ferrari driver. Leclerc previously unveiled the special 16-year whisky project, which places particular emphasis on the number that has become synonymous with his Formula 1 career.
Why Charles Leclerc’s number 16 is central to the collaboration
The limited-edition release combines 16 different whiskies, each aged for at least 16 years. The concept deliberately revolves around Leclerc’s race number, creating a direct connection between the product and one of the most recognisable elements of his identity as a Formula 1 driver.
Number 16 has accompanied Leclerc throughout his Formula 1 career and has become an established part of his image with Ferrari. The background to the choice is also part of the Monegasque driver’s F1 story, with Leclerc having previously explained how he eventually selected number 16 as his permanent Formula 1 number.
The wider Chivas Regal project is intended to highlight determination, character and the continuous pursuit of new objectives, themes underpinning the partnership between the brand and the Ferrari star. This latest contest brings that collaboration directly to a small group of supporters by giving them the chance to participate in the product launch alongside Leclerc.
August 20 deadline for fans hoping to meet Charles Leclerc
Anyone hoping to secure one of the five winning places must therefore complete the entry process before the evening of 20 August. With the final decision resting on the quality and originality of each applicant’s answer rather than a conventional random draw, entrants will need to convince the Chivas Regal and Forbes Italy jury through their written motivation.
The five successful applicants will then have 1 September circled on their calendars. Together with their chosen adult guests, they will attend the Chivas Regal 16 launch and receive the opportunity at the heart of the competition: meeting Charles Leclerc in person.
