1961 Monaco Grand Prix Shirt

We really like this 1961 Monaco Grand Prix shirt designed by the user VintageRacing on TeePublic. It features the top three finishers from the 1961 event, which has gone down as a classic in the history of Formula 1. The 1961 Monaco Grand Prix The ’61 Monaco GP is Sir Stirling Moss’s greatest drive of his career (even Moss himself admits it). Moss drove in the increasingly obsolete Lotus-Climax campaigned by Rob Walker, which was significantly underpowered in [...]

Heel Tread Racing-Inspired Novelty Socks

After years of novelty socks that depict owls, sloths, coffee cups, and other modern obsessions, there’s finally some intended for the racing fan.

Other favorites of ours include designs based off the Lotus 49 F1 car from the 1960s, Senna’s helmet, the tartan “Clark Plaid” seats found in the GTI, and of course the [...]

Print: The Helmets of Every Formula 1 World Champion by Last Corner
