ROBERT FERRY — RACE-WORN DRIVER'S ENSEMBLE Audi NSU Coupé / Cibié Racing Team, circa early 1970s Complete two-piece suit with matching original Nomex undergarments and balaclava

A museum-quality artifact from the golden age of French circuit and road racing, this complete driver's ensemble was worn by Robert Ferry during his competitive campaigns aboard the Audi NSU Coupé under the auspices of the celebrated Cibié Racing Team — one of the most recognisable factory-backed sporting operations in French motorsport of the era.

The Suit

Presented as a two-piece — jacket and matching trousers — the ensemble is constructed in powder blue Nomex-lined herringbone twill, with ivory contrast stitching throughout. A tricolour stripe in red, white and blue runs vertically along the central zip line of the jacket, a quintessentially French racing detail of the period. The brass zip, chest pocket, and elasticated white cuffs are all intact and in excellent preservation. The back panel is entirely plain, the simplicity of the reverse providing a stark and elegant contrast to the rich patch arrangement of the front.

The jacket carries a carefully curated assembly of period sponsor and homologation patches. The Cibié Racing Team oval — in gold and black on yellow ground — holds pride of place on the chest. Cibié was the undisputed leader of French automotive lighting, and through its active sponsorship of top racing and rally teams at Le Mans and across the major rallies, enjoyed unparalleled visibility in European motorsport. The Koni shock absorber triangular patch sits below it — a partnership equally emblematic of serious period competition. The left chest carries the Kleber tyre patch and the driver identification panel reading Audi NSU Coupé / Robert Ferry in navy blue on white. The left sleeve bears the DuPont Nomex® certification patch, confirming the suit's fire-resistant construction, alongside the all-important FSFA Homologué patch — the French Fédération du Sport Automobile's seal of approval, a period requirement for competitive racing in France.

The Audi NSU Coupé was a competitive touring car weapon of the early 1970s. NSU had an illustrious motorsport heritage, securing 29 touring car championships between 1962 and 1967 on the international stage, and the merged Audi-NSU concern continued to field competitive entries in French racing and the legendary Tour de France Automobile through the early 1970s.

The Undergarments

Accompanying the suit is the original set of race-worn Nomex undergarments: a full long-sleeved thermal top, matching long trousers, and a period balaclava — all in natural cream Nomex knit. These items are exceptionally rare survivals. Period undergarments were consumable items, rarely retained alongside their outer suits, making a complete ensemble of this kind — outer suit, trousers, and full undergarment set together — an extraordinary find for the collector of early French motorsport history.

Condition

The suit presents with honest patina consistent with active race use, retaining full structural integrity across all seams, patches, and fastenings. The colour remains vibrant. The undergarments are complete and display light wear appropriate to their age and use.

A complete and cohesive driver's ensemble from early 1970s French touring car racing, offered in its entirety for the first time.

VOLKER WEIDLER — RACE-WORN RIAL RACING DRIVER'S SUIT Formula One World Championship, 1989 Season Manufactured by Stand 21 Racewear, Talant, France

A striking and historically singular artifact from one of Formula One's more intimate chapters, this race-worn driver's suit belonged to Volker Weidler during his Formula One campaign with the Rial Racing team in the 1989 World Championship season — one of the two last German Formula One constructors competing in the sport, operating from the team's base in Fußgönheim, Germany.

The suit is constructed in vivid royal blue with white pinstripe detailing and white contrast stitching throughout — the unmistakeable livery of the Rial works team. The chest carries the full period sponsor insignia: the bold yellow-on-blue Rial Wheels title patch, the World Championship Team designation beneath a red-and-white team roundel, alongside lui magazine and Steinbock Boss patches — a compact but evocative assembly of late-1980s Grand Prix commercial life. The reverse presents a commanding large-format team patch — the red-and-white Rial roundel above World Championship Team lettering, with the bold RIAL logotype in yellow below. Both sleeves carry matching red-and-white World Championship Team arm patches. The collar carries a Stand 21 homologation label reading Homologué FIA 86 / Norme ISO 6940, confirming compliance with the period's most exacting safety standards.

The waist belt is embroidered in white script with the driver's name, Volker Weidler, alongside Stand 21 and FIA certification patches, with a further FIA homologation label reading Norme 1986 / 86 Standard / 01.031.FFSA.87. The interior carries the full Stand 21 manufacture label from 12 Rue des Novailes, 21240 Talant, France.

Rial expanded to two cars for the 1989 season, engaging German drivers Christian Danner and Volker Weidler for the ARC2, a machine featuring reworked aerodynamics by McLaren designer Bob Bell and the improved Cosworth DFR engine. Weidler entered ten Grands Prix across the season with the team. The suit is a direct witness to those efforts — worn during practice, qualifying, and the pre-qualifying sessions that characterised the compressed, merciless grid entry system of the era, in which 39 cars competed for 26 starting positions.

What elevates this suit beyond its racing context is its provenance. The personal initials Y.M. — those of Yves Morizot, founder and guiding force of Stand 21 Racewear — are marked within the lining, confirming that this suit passed directly from Morizot's own private archive. A safety pioneer who founded Stand 21 in 1970 and by 1977 was dressing over 80% of Formula One drivers in his innovative, multi-layer, fire-resistant suits, Morizot personally retained this suit as part of a curated collection representing the breadth of the drivers and teams he outfitted across four decades at the sport's highest level. That a suit worn at the margins of the 1989 grid — the honest, unglamorous frontline of motor racing ambition — should earn a place in his personal collection speaks volumes.

Weidler's story did not end in Formula One: in 1991 he co-drove with Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Wankel-powered Mazda 787B — the first overall Le Mans victory for a Japanese manufacturer — making this suit an artifact from the Formula One years of a driver who would go on to claim one of motorsport's greatest prizes.

The suit presents in excellent condition, fully consistent with period race use, retaining all original patches, labels, and stitching intact.

From the private collection of Yves Morizot, founder of Stand 21 Racewear. 

GERHARD BERGER — RACE-WORN McLAREN-HONDA DRIVER'S SUITFormula One World Championship, 1991 SeasonManufactured by Stand 21 Racewear, Talant, France

A remarkable artifact from one of the most dominant chapters in Formula One history, this race-worn driver's suit was used by Gerhard Berger during the 1991 Formula One World Championship season, in which he campaigned the McLaren MP4/6 alongside teammate and eventual triple World Champion Ayrton Senna, powered by the Honda RA121E V12 engine. McLaren-Honda secured both the Constructors' Championship through the combined efforts of Senna and Berger that year.

The suit is constructed in the iconic Marlboro McLaren livery of scarlet red with white pinstripe detailing and white contrast stitching throughout — among the most recognisable and evocative colour combinations in the history of Grand Prix racing. The chest bears a full complement of period sponsor embroidered patches: Marlboro McLaren International, Honda, Shell, Boss Men's Fashion, Goodyear, Tag Heuer, and Courtaulds — a veritable roster of the sport's commercial golden era. The reverse presents a large Marlboro chevron above a Honda patch, with the Stand 21 FIA homologation label — reading Norme 1986 / 1986 Standard / 04.106.FFSA.89 — embroidered at the collar.

The waist belt is embroidered in white script with the driver's name, Gerhard Berger, alongside a Stand 21 Racewear patch bearing the red-and-white Austrian national flag — a quietly personal detail on an otherwise boldly branded garment. The suit retains its original Stand 21 brass zip pull. The interior label confirms manufacture at Stand 21's facility at 12 Rue des Novailes, 21240 Talant, France, and certifies production to FIA 86 standards.

Crucially, this suit bears the personal initials Y.M. — those of Yves Morizot, founder and guiding visionary of Stand 21 — discreetly marked within the lining. Morizot founded Stand 21 in 1970 and by 1977 was clothing over 80% of Formula One drivers in his innovative, multi-layer, fire-resistant suits. A safety pioneer by conviction, it was a fiery Formula 3 accident at Dijon in 1970 that led him to abandon a career as a baker and dedicate his life to protecting racing drivers. That this suit passed directly from Morizot's private collection into the present offering speaks to the esteem in which he held it — retained not as inventory, but as a personal memento of an era and a driver he outfitted at the very pinnacle of the sport.

Towards the end of 1991, Berger found his form in the MP4/6, out-qualifying teammate Senna at the Portuguese, Spanish, and title-deciding Japanese Grands Prix — claiming pole position at the latter two events. At Suzuka, Berger qualified on pole and led the race before Senna moved past him; Senna then slowed at the end, returning the gesture in a celebrated act of sportsmanship between the two close friends.

The suit presents in excellent overall condition consistent with race use, retaining the texture, patina, and integrity of a garment that was worn at the sharp end of the world's most demanding motorsport competition. Together, the provenance chain — from paddock to the personal archive of the man who made it — renders this one of the most intimately documented McLaren-Honda suits that could conceivably come to market.

Exhibited in a private European collection. 

Stand 21 Nomex Fireproof Undershirt — Lotus 99T, 1987 Formula One World Championship Race-Worn by Ayrton Senna Throughout the 1987 F1 SeasonHand Signed by Ayrton Senna in Green Marker

There is an intimacy to fireproof underwear that no helmet, no trophy, no car component can match. Worn directly against the skin, beneath the race suit, in the cockpit of one of the most formidable racing cars of its era — this Stand 21 Nomex fireproof undershirt was as close to Ayrton Senna as any object in the world could be during a Grand Prix weekend. It is, in the truest sense, a piece worn by the man himself.

The Garment

A cream/off-white Stand 21 Nomex fireproof undershirt, bearing the original Stand 21 chest logo — the same French manufacturer responsible for producing Senna's race suits and fireproof undergarments throughout his Lotus years from 1985 to 1987. Stand 21 manufactured Senna's suits during his time as a Lotus driver, across the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons, under the watchful eye of Yves Morizot, chairman and founder of the company.

The garment shows the natural aging and patina consistent with genuine race use — the cream colouring characteristic of period-correct Nomex fireproof material. It presents in wearable, displayable condition, retaining its original construction and form.

Signed directly onto the chest in green marker, Senna's signature sits bold and clear — an intimate, personal inscription on a garment of equally personal significance.

Stand 21 & The Nomex Standard

Stand 21 was — and remains — one of the most respected names in motorsport safety. In the 1980s, their Nomex-constructed fireproof undergarments were among the most advanced available to Formula One drivers, providing a critical additional layer of fire resistance beneath the outer race suit. For a driver of Senna's intensity and physical commitment, these garments were not accessories — they were essential protection, worn through qualifying sessions, race starts, and the full physical demands of a sixteen-round World Championship season.

The 1987 Season — Context & Significance

This undershirt was worn during one of the most technically remarkable and emotionally significant seasons of Senna's career. Piloting the revolutionary Lotus 99T — fitted with computer-controlled active suspension and the Honda Twin-Turbo engine — Senna drove a car that could stay flat over bumps, preserve tyres, and run less wing for more top speed.

Senna achieved two race victories in 1987, at the Monaco Grand Prix and the Detroit Grand Prix, as well as six other podiums throughout the season — four second places and two third places — finishing third in the Drivers' Championship. These wins, and the additional podiums, represented a feat never to be repeated thereafter in F1 by a Lotus — marking the last time the great team would stand on the top step of a Grand Prix podium.

It was his final season in yellow and blue. The following year, Senna moved to McLaren and claimed the first of his three World Championships. This garment belongs to the final chapter of that Lotus story — the last season of a partnership that had launched one of the greatest careers in sport.

A Note on Rarity

Original Stand 21 Nomex garments from Senna's 1987 Lotus season are extraordinarily rare — among the few made with specific period detailing unique to that championship year. Race-worn fireproof underwear almost never survives in collectible form; it was functional equipment, not considered for preservation at the time. That this piece exists, is signed, and can be directly attributed to the 1987 season places it in a category reserved for only the most exceptional Senna material.

A signed race suit from the same Stand 21 partnership has been exhibited at the Museum of Legends in Pavia, one of the most significant Senna collections in the world. Nomex undergarments of this provenance and period are vanishingly scarce.

Signed. Race-worn. Irreplaceable.

AYRTON SENNA — SIGNED AND INSCRIBED STAND 21 RACING SUIT, TEST-WORN AT HIS FIRST McLAREN-HONDA TEST Suzuka, 8 December 1987 — The Very Beginning of the Senna–McLaren Era

Among the most historically charged artifacts a Senna collector could hope to encounter: the Stand 21 racing suit test-worn by Ayrton Senna at Suzuka on 8 December 1987 — the day the greatest partnership in Formula 1 history began.

Having stunned the paddock by signing for McLaren alongside Alain Prost, Senna travelled to Honda's home circuit in December 1987 for his first running with his new team, sampling the Honda turbo installed in McLaren's interim test car ahead of the 1988 campaign. What followed needs no embellishment: the 1988 McLaren-Honda MP4/4 would win 15 of 16 races, and Senna would claim the first of his three World Championships. This suit was there at the genesis — before the victories, before the titles, at the very hour the legend changed teams.

The suit itself is a period Stand 21 in vivid red, made in Talant, France, carrying its original embroidered collar certification ("Norme 1986 / FIA Standard / 04.106.FFSA.86") and manufacturer labelling — Stand 21 being among the elite suit makers of the era. Senna has hand-signed the chest in bold black marker, adding in his own hand the inscriptions "First Test McLaren-Honda" and "Suzuka 87" — transforming the garment into a self-documented piece of history, annotated by the man himself.

Compelling supporting evidence lies within: handwritten period notation inside the lining reading "SENNA — McLaren-Honda — First Test — 8 December 87," of the kind applied for kit allocation and identification — a quiet, functional detail that speaks to authentic team use rather than an afterthought.

Condition is honest and evocative: the suit shows genuine wear consistent with test use, with light fading, wear to the Velcro closures, and the soft, lived-in character of a working garment. It has not been laundered into sterility — it remains exactly what it is: a tool of the trade from a defining moment.

Senna test-worn apparel is of extreme rarity in any form; a suit from a career-defining milestone, signed and inscribed by Senna with the event itself, is quite simply a museum piece — the kind of artifact around which a serious collection is built.

Here is a an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a  2023 F1 Ferrari Puma fireproof pit crew mechanic overall.

With all the sponsors all rigorously embroidered, very beautiful and unique,
Original Puma, approved for pit stop operations.
The suit has protections at the ankles and elbows, with a radio belt, in truly excellent condition
Official and not for sale, an unobtainable product, produced by Puma for the mechanics of the Ferrari team
The suit still bears some signs of pit crew operations, a collector's item, very difficult to find in these conditions.

This is an incredibly impossible to get piece!

Offered is a framed, 2008 Lewis Hamilton championship season-worn McLaren racing suit. The frame measures 29-by-41.5 inches and displays light-to-moderate wear. Numerous sponsor patches, including Mercedes-Benz, Johnnie Walker, FedEx, Bridgestone, Mobil 1, SAP, Vodafone, Aigo, Nescafé, Schüco, Santander, Eparco, and Hugo Boss, adorn the suit. An F1 Authentics COA is present in the framed display. This is a historic collectible celebrating the early days of Hamilton's dominant F1 career.

At a Sotheby's auction in New York in 12/2023, a similar, worn suit was sold for just under €220,000 ($240,000).

It is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of one of the most talented and succesful driver in F1 history.

Hamilton's success continued in 2008 as he amassed five victories and ten podium finishes. Including the impressive British Grand Prix victory, where he won the race by over a minute from second-place Nick Heidfeld, his drive was widely acclaimed as one of Formula One's finest wet-weather drives. As the season reached its conclusion in Brazil, it became a clear two-way fight for the title between the home favourite Felipe Massa and the young Briton. Hamilton won his first title in dramatic fashion in the last race of the season, the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, overtaking Timo Glock for fifth position in the final corners of the last lap to become the then-youngest Formula One World Champion in history and to deny race-winner Massa the title by one point. This made Hamilton the first British driver to win the World Championship since Damon Hill in 1996.

Introducing a remarkable piece of Formula 1 history, now available for your collection: a race-worn suit personally signed by the legendary Michael Schumacher. This authentic Sparco suit isn't just a piece of memorabilia; it's a testament to the triumphs of one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time.

This suit was worn by Schumacher during the exhilarating 1995 Formula 1 season, a pivotal year in his illustrious career. More significantly, it was donned by Schumacher at the iconic Spa Grand Prix, where he clinched victory in his Ferrari B195, a win that played a crucial role in his journey to becoming the World Champion of that season. The victory at Spa, known for its challenging circuit, is often regarded as one of Schumacher's most masterful performances, showcasing his exceptional skill and determination.

The suit itself, manufactured by Sparco, a brand synonymous with racing excellence, bears the marks and scuffs of fierce competition, offering a tangible connection to the high-speed world of Formula 1 racing. It has been hand-signed by Michael Schumacher in a bold black marker, adding a personal touch from the champion himself.

This is more than just a piece of racing apparel; it's a slice of sports history, embodying the spirit and legacy of Michael Schumacher's remarkable 1995 season. It's an unparalleled collectible for any true fan of Formula 1 and an enduring symbol of Schumacher's skill, resilience, and triumphant achievements in the sport.

What an incredible piece! Original race suit used by Daniel Brühl in the movie "Rush" in which he plays the role of Niki Lauda. The 2013 biographical sports film centred on the Hunt–Lauda rivalry between two Formula One drivers, the British James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula 1 motor-racing season.

The suit shows obvious signed of use.

Presenting a magnificent artifact from the annals of Formula 1 history: a race-used suit worn by the legendary Michael Schumacher during the 1992 Belgium Grand Prix at Spa, where he not only competed but emerged as the winner. This suit is a remarkable memento from an early and pivotal moment in Schumacher's storied career, representing a significant milestone in his journey to becoming one of the sport's greatest icons.

This particular race suit, worn while Schumacher piloted the Benetton B192, is more than just a piece of fabric; it's a symbol of the skill and tenacity that defined Schumacher's approach to racing. The victory at Spa in 1992 was a testament to his rising star in the Formula 1 world, showcasing the raw talent and relentless drive that would eventually lead him to multiple world championships.

Adding to the suit's value and uniqueness, it has been personally signed by Michael Schumacher, his manager Willi Weber, and Jurgen Dilk, further solidifying its authenticity and connection to Schumacher's legacy.
