Racing memorabilia doesn’t get a whole lot more impressive than this, unless you buy an actual Formula 1 car of course.
This F1 Gearbox Table is made from a race-used Renault R30 F1 transmission, it’s a 7-speed, semi-automatic, sequential box made from ultra-light titanium. It would have been raced by either Robert Kubica or Vitaly Petrov, both names that’ll be immediately familiar to any Formula 1 follower, and it’s mounted inside a single-sheet of 25mm crystal-clear acrylic.
