Our Story

From the racetrack to your pocket — a journey of passion and precision.

Racing Heritage

As the founder of Driver61 and a lifelong motorsport enthusiast, my journey in racing has taken me from racing old F1 cars to coaching drivers across 22 countries. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate enough to test and race over 25 different F1 cars, experiencing firsthand the engineering marvels that define the pinnacle of motorsport.

It was during this journey that I developed a deep appreciation for the carbon fibre components that make these machines so extraordinary — lightweight yet incredibly strong, each piece a perfect blend of engineering and artistry.

The Birth of an Idea

The concept for our premium wallets was born from a simple realisation: the same carbon fibre that withstands the extreme forces of Formula 1 racing deserves a second life beyond the track. Why should such remarkable materials end their journey when their racing days are over?

Each wallet we create contains authentic carbon fibre from F1 cars that have raced at speeds exceeding 200 mph on the world's most prestigious circuits. These components have been part of the cutting edge of racing technology, pushed to their limits by the world's best drivers.

Craftsmanship Meets Heritage

We partner with skilled artisans who understand the value and history of these materials. Every wallet is meticulously handcrafted, combining the heritage of Formula 1 with premium leatherwork.

The result is more than just a wallet — it's a piece of motorsport history that you can carry with you every day. Each piece tells a story of speed, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of perfection that defines Formula 1.

Our Commitment

We're dedicated to preserving the legacy of these remarkable materials while creating products of exceptional quality. When you purchase one of our wallets, you're not just buying an accessory — you're becoming the custodian of a piece of racing history.

I personally oversee every aspect of our production process, ensuring that each wallet meets the exacting standards that I've applied throughout my racing career. 

Join Our Journey

Thank you for considering becoming part of our story. When you carry one of our wallets, you're not just making a statement about style — you're celebrating the engineering excellence, the speed, and the passion that make Formula 1 the extraordinary sport that it is.

I hope this wallet becomes as special to you as the journey of creating it has been for us.
