Sports Memorabilia -> Fan Apparel and Souvenirs -> Racing-Formula 1

One of the most popular types of sports merchandise is apparel, particularly hats and T-shirts. So it stands to reason that Formula 1 T-shirts and other merchandise that celebrates the most popular racing in the world are a hit with fans. Formula 1 racing sprang from the European Grand Prix motor racing of the 1920s and 30s. In 1946, the FIA or Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile standardized its rules for racing, giving them the collective name of Formula A. The name Formula 1 was adopted and made official in 1950 when the first Formula 1 championship race was held.

The “Formula” stands for the set of rules, which are very specific, limiting everything from the width of the cars to the space between each wheel and the body, to the electrical system, engine and even the way the cars are stored the night before the race. Unlike Indy races and other races which start with a flag wave, Formula 1 races start with a set of 5 lights that come on from left to right one second apart, and then go out together after several seconds. For Formula 1 fans who have specific teams or drivers that they love, Formula 1 T-shirts are great unique collectibles with each representing a favorite.

Shirts are also one of the most affordable fan souvenirs. Formula 1 T-shirts range in price from $15 or so for the less expensive shirts and anywhere from $55 – $75 for new, hot items like shirts for popular drivers like Finnish racer Kimi Räikkönen, who became the highest paid driver in motor sports when he joined the Ferrari team in 2007. Collectible T-shirts that are no long printed can be in high demand, depending on the driver, the team, and the current status of both in the racing circuit.

Formula 1 cars race at speeds up to 225 miles per hour, or 350 kilometers per hour, making it one of the most dangerous sports in the world. When accidents occur, especially those resulting in death, naturally merchandise featuring the driver who has been injured or killed become more valuable and more in demand. “Double S” T-shirts, for example, are one of the most collectible of the Formula 1 T-shirts, because they celebrate the late driver Aryton Senna da Silva, who died racing when he was second in championship points in 1994.

The current European Formula 1 teams are McLaren, Ferrari, BMW Sauber, Renault, Toyota, Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Williams, Honda, Force India and Super Aguri. Formula 1 T-shirts featuring those teams and their drivers and currently available for collecting, but past driver T-shirts are items that fans particularly enjoy collecting. Online auctions are always a great place for finding new and classic shirts. If you’re looking for a real collectible Formula 1 T-shirt and not just one that features your favorite, then be sure the shirt is official Formula 1 merchandise and not an imitation made by another manufacturer.
