Topps F1 Turbo Attax: Set Guide

A collector's guide to Topps F1 Turbo Attax — the mass-market Formula 1 card-game line, how its base / foil / Limited Edition tiers work, and where Kimi Antonelli's cheap-entry rookie-era cards fit.

By Luca Bertani Updated July 25, 2026

Topps F1 Turbo Attax is the mass-market, play-and-collect corner of the licensed Formula 1 card program — the F1 cousin of the football Match Attax game. Because Topps holds the official Formula 1 license, every Turbo Attax card is a fully licensed issue; it just lives at the opposite end of the ladder from the chromium hobby lines. If Chrome and Dynasty are the trophy shelf, Turbo Attax is the way a new (or young) collector gets in the door for pocket change.

What Turbo Attax actually is

Turbo Attax is a collectible card game, sold at retail — packs, multipacks, starter packs, and tins you’ll find in supermarkets and toy aisles rather than at a hobby shop. That matters for two reasons:

  • It’s cheap and everywhere. Base cards are printed in huge quantity, so a common card is a genuine pocket-money buy. That’s a feature, not a knock — it’s the friendliest possible on-ramp to collecting an F1 driver.
  • The value lives in the scarce tiers, not the base. Like Match Attax, the set is built as a ladder, and only the top rungs command real prices.

The Turbo Attax ladder, read like a collector

Think of it cheapest to rarest:

  • Base cards — the bulk of the set, and the affordable foundation. The 2026 base checklist runs to 353 cards across themed subsets: F1 Team Logos, Team Principals, Dynamic Duos, F1 Hero, Power In Numbers, Lightning Lids, Epic Moments, Speed Silhouettes, Legends of the Grid, Sprint Superstars, Drivercore, Night Shift, F1 Car, La Monumental, Turbo Attax Legacy, Champions, One To Watch, Technical Drawing, Signature Style, 100 Club, Black Edge, Diamond Infinity, Turbo Chrome, The Winning Formula, Strategy Card and F1 Gold.
  • Turbo Chrome — new for 2026 and the line’s first chrome series (base cards #316–340), with a real refractor ladder: Green /99, Gold /50, Orange /25, Red /5, SuperFractor 1/1.
  • F1 Gold — the tough pull that closes out the main numbering, roughly 1:384 packs.
  • Limited Edition (LE) cards — the deliberate chase, foil-fronted and marked as such. The Black Gold LE variants are a Topps UK website exclusive.
  • Relics and autographs — 2026 carries Raceday Relics and Manufactured Relics (10 cards each), and the Limited Edition line includes one-of-one autographs of select drivers.

Because Turbo Attax reissues each season, always confirm which year’s release a card is from — the checklists, subset names and LE line-ups change year to year, which is exactly why we publish the structure of a specific year rather than a generic tier list.

Where Antonelli fits

Kimi Antonelli’s RC-designated cards are from 2025, his first full Mercedes-AMG Petronas season, and Turbo Attax gives you the cheapest possible way to own Antonelli cardboard — though note that a Turbo Attax card is a game card, not an RC-marked hobby rookie.

In the 2026 release he runs right through the checklist: #12 (Dynamic Duos, with George Russell), #16 (F1 Hero), #17 (Power In Numbers), #18 (Lightning Lids), #101 and #115 (Epic Moments), #120 (Speed Silhouettes), #156 (2025 Sprint Superstars), #175 (Drivercore), #190 (2026 F1 Car), #209 (La Monumental), #231 (Turbo Attax Legacy), #268 (Signature Style) and #319 (Turbo Chrome). He is LE 12 in the Limited Edition insert checklist and SUN 2 in the Mega Tin-exclusive Sunshine State set.

A common base card costs very little; the interesting buys are his Limited Edition, the Turbo Chrome refractor ladder, and any relic or one-of-one autograph. For the higher-value chromium rookie chase, step across to Topps Chrome Formula 1 and the online-exclusive Chrome F1 Sapphire; the autographed race-used relic ceiling lives in Topps Dynasty Formula 1.

Is it worth collecting?

For fun, for kids, and for a low-cost start on a driver you like — absolutely. As an investment, keep expectations honest: base Turbo Attax is a game product, and the money concentrates in LEs, scarce parallels, and signings. Don’t pay hobby prices for a base card, and don’t dismiss a genuine Limited Edition just because it came out of a retail pack. As always, read the live market instead of guessing — our “what’s it worth” page frames how value runs by card type and grade.

How to actually buy it

Sealed Turbo Attax packs and tins turn up at retail, but singles, Limited Editions, and signings trade on eBay — so search the live market rather than trusting one asking price. Use the buttons above to open current listings for each tier, then filter to “Sold items” for real comps. If you’re building a full set, the bundle-and-lot search is the efficient way to fill the base checklist; save your budget for the LEs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Topps F1 Turbo Attax the same as the hobby Topps cards?
No — Turbo Attax is Topps' mass-market collectible card-game line for Formula 1, the F1 cousin of the football Match Attax game. It's sold cheaply at retail (supermarkets, toy aisles) as packs, multipacks, and tins, and it's built for play-and-collect fun rather than the hobby chase. The hobby side of the F1 program is chromium — Topps Chrome F1 and its Sapphire edition — because Formula 1 has no paper flagship base set. Turbo Attax is the low-cost, kid-friendly entry point, not the high-value hobby product.
Are Kimi Antonelli Turbo Attax cards worth anything?
Most base Turbo Attax cards are inexpensive by design — they're printed in huge quantity for a retail game. Value concentrates in the scarce tiers: Limited Edition cards, low-run foils and parallels, and any signature (auto) cards. An Antonelli Limited Edition from his rookie-era Turbo Attax can carry real interest with collectors, while a common base card is a pocket-money buy. Always read the live listing and check sold comps rather than assuming.
How do I tell a Limited Edition Turbo Attax card apart?
Limited Edition cards are foil-fronted and marked 'Limited Edition', and they're the deliberate chase pulls of the set. In the 2026 release Kimi Antonelli is LE 12 in that checklist, and the Black Gold Limited Edition variants are a Topps UK website exclusive. When buying a card described as an LE, read the card face to confirm the exact tier before you pay a premium — LE naming shifts release to release, so we don't publish a tier list that would be wrong next season.
Which Turbo Attax cards does Kimi Antonelli have?
In the 353-card 2026 Topps Turbo Attax Formula 1 base set he appears at #12 (2026 F1 Dynamic Duos, with George Russell), #16 (2026 F1 Hero), #17 (Power In Numbers), #18 (Lightning Lids), #101, #104 and #115 (Epic Moments), #120 (Speed Silhouettes), #156 (2025 F1 Sprint Superstars), #175 (Drivercore), #190 (2026 F1 Car), #209 (La Monumental), #231 (F1 Turbo Attax Legacy), #268 (Signature Style) and #319 (Turbo Chrome). He is also LE 12 in the Limited Edition insert checklist and SUN 2 in the Mega Tin-exclusive Sunshine State set.
