Ayrton Senna | Stand 21 Race Gloves | Winter Testing, Imola 1986

Signed and Inscribed “Imola” in blue ink
Provenance: Stand 21 Racewear, Dijon, France

A pair of original Stand 21 race gloves worn by Ayrton Senna during pre-season testing at Imola in 1986, representing one of the earliest artifacts from the Brazilian legend’s formative years in Formula 1.

Constructed in blue Nomex and tan leather, these gloves were produced by Stand 21, the French manufacturer renowned for outfitting elite drivers with FIA-approved safety gear. Both gloves are hand-signed and dated by Senna, who also inscribed the name “Imola”, marking the exact location of their use.

Accompanying the pair is an exceptionally rare original Stand 21 factory wrap, which explicitly identifies the gloves as “Ayrton Senna winter test Imola 1986”. This label confirms their provenance directly from the supplier responsible for Senna’s racewear at the time, adding an extraordinary level of authenticity.

These gloves are presented framed with a period photograph of Senna donning similar blue gloves and his iconic yellow “Nacional” helmet, capturing the intensity and focus that defined his early racing years with Team Lotus.

Items directly tied to Senna’s 1986 testing period—when he fine-tuned the legendary Lotus 98T—are exceptionally scarce, and few possess such impeccable provenance.
