    SUPPORTING THE PARC FERMÉ FOUNDATION

    A portion from each item sold goes directly towards our Non-profit - the 'Parc Fermé Foundation' - where we're on a mission of sending young race fans on race experiences, with the focus being on young fans who are battling difficult challenges that life has thrown their way, or who just wouldn’t have the means to make it to the race if not for a foundation like us stepping in.

    It’s by the Motorsports community for the Motorsports community, for those that are young and call the community their home, but due to their circumstances they’ve very often been on the outside looking in.
