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.
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.
