Racing history translated into clothing, images and objects. A guide to the creative work around motorsport, beginning with McLaren’s archive.
Racing archives contain more than results: technical drawings, helmet colours, tyre textures and the shapes of machinery. Our route follows those materials into design. Begin with the primary project records below; the first BENI HASAN feature follows McLaren and Central Saint Martins, with student authorship kept in view.
What happens when engineering memory becomes a silhouette?
