F1 Lockout at MSAC – Changes to Chase Programs
January 28, 2026
F1 Lockout of MSAC is 21-days, from 23 February to 16 March 2026. Learn about the changes to Chase programs throughout this period.
Formula 1 racing is back at Albert Park. This exciting time for Melbourne means our home at MSAC changes in operation. Access to MSAC is limited from 23 February (8 days pre-race week) to 16 March 2026 (8 days post-race week).
Due to limited accessibility, child safety and traffic/parking concerns, Chase has decided to change or move regularly scheduled trainings held at MSAC during the race period.
We have been made aware that there is limited access to the arena via the swimming pool/multi-level car park entrance and emergency exit processes for the venue will change. The car park at the basketball end will be closed for the entire period, while the roundabout and main entrance to MSAC will be inaccessible.
The Chase Team will be in contact about any moves to your training. We will continue to run our sessions at Our Venues, Albert Park College and Port Melbourne Secondary College during the lockout period.
Single session registration options will be available for all UP Skills sessions for this period.
If you have any questions or queries about this closure, please contact us via email or give us a call.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate these new changes. We’ll be back to normal operation at the completion of the F1 racing festival.
